Your remarks seem like a collection of things you'd like to say, a bit of abuse ("pontificated", reiterates the guy who replied to my 5-liner with a rambling mini-essay about a large array of random education issues not connected to my post), and an appeal to authority (I'm not a teacher -so what?)
I am not proposing the private schools shut down. I would like to see them funded less (and suspect that we would continue to have a private school sector if they were not funded at all). I would like people to stop attributing the success of privates/selectives to the fact that they can admit who they like and kick out their problems.
- oldandtired 9y agoI am not appealing to "authority" but to experience. How much do you know about the working of either private or public schools. Public schools are not free - parents pay all sorts of "education" fees, been there done that. Similarly in the private schools system, there are possibilities of getting financial help for school fees if you me certain criteria, been there done that. A discussion also includes sharing of "random" stuff since this is generally experience and gives some input into various matters. In regards to your very last comment about kicking out their problems is a feature of both public and private schools. Both can do it and both do do it.
