  • So the article shows public schools aren’t getting the funding they should be getting (below 100%), while private schools are more than covered (over 100%).

    I’m sorry, but the rest of your commentary is really a straw man. You’re just trying to shift focus away from public schools not getting their share of funding, while private schools are getting more. And instead saying that funding shouldn’t be the deciding factor on which school to send your kid to. No one said that. The fact is, public schools aren’t getting the funding that was committed, while private schools are getting more than what was committed. Giving public schools the amount they should be getting doesn’t stop you from sending your kid to private school. And it’s disappointing to see people trying to excuse it or shift the focus elsewhere.



  • Doesn’t this article show that the funding received by private schools is actually more in most cases?

    Even if funding was exactly the same, private schools are most definitely providing more per student than public schools. Unless you believe those fees being paid are entirely pocketed by the teachers. Where exactly do you believe those fees are going? Those fees, along with the funding, are going into facilities, equipment and personell that public schools simply can’t afford.

    Sure, the quality of education isn’t entirely based on funding. But to sit here and claim funding doesn’t help is a little privileged. Kind of like how people who say money doesn’t buy happiness, usually have money. It’s easy to say money doesn’t improve education, when you have the money.

    I still don’t see why private schools should be receiving more government funding than public schools though.
