Sounds good but it's that kind of thinking that leads to the current situation (I mean this literally) . School is basically glorified babysitting at this point

- 52-6F-62 7y agoI’m sorry. I don’t follow. I was advocating for more funding to public education so that more children have access to more learning experiences. I hope that’s more clear.
- cheez 7y agoSorry, I was trying to say that that people have been adding more funding for generations and it keeps getting worse. Example: declining student enrollment, increased spending https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/per-student-spending-in-ontario-up-more-than-23-despite-claims-to-the-contrary https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/per-student-spending... http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/quickfacts/2016_2017.html http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/general/elemsec/quickfacts/2016...
- 52-6F-62 7y agoIt’s not getting worse, though. Canadian provinces’ public schools are ranking in the top 10 of world countries. https://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/provincial/education.aspx https://www.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/provincial/education.aspx https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40708421 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40708421 As an aside, I do not trust the Fraser Institute to be unbiased on the matter of any kind of public spending. Public spending is a essentially against their core values.
