What's the link you're trying to draw between public/private school funding and catchment areas?
I'm confused. What does this have to do with funding? Are you saying private schools should have the same amount of funding so it's cheaper for you to send your kid to private school?
Not necessarily, I'm grateful for more clarity. Voting yes without any clarity is no better than voting no without any clarity.
Maybe I am going blind, but couldn't find a link to the full list anywhere in that article, so here it is if you didn't want to go digging: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/1-100
Thanks heaps!
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.
