My family could not afford private school either but we did go to private school just the same. For many years. So I don't believe coercion is the answer when charity has work and can work if given the chance.
But most people are paying and are able to pay. They just aren't paying directly.
And there aren't enough private schools around because they've been crowded out and undercut by schools that don't have to compete. They just take the money they want.
And the results have been destruction.
No, it is the current system that is impractical. People have notions about what education should be and despite the bad results are will ing to keep sacrificing the best interests of the children to avoid rethinking their assumptions or engaging in fundamental debate. They prefer to keep repeating the same tired cliches.
- Unseelie 16y agoMost families cannot afford to pay...education is income redistribution.
- stretchwithme 16y agowell, we were on welfare and could not afford to pay. in fact, my Catholic high school is still owed money for my education. must clear that up other people don't owe me anything and never have. but I have the right to ask for help and receive it on their terms. Coerced charity is neither moral nor practical. And our public schools are ample proof.
