Parents eye private schools that say they will have open campuses this fall
- jelliclesfarm 6y ago2 points: 1. Private schools will increase and they will become more affordable. 2. What will be the impact on property taxes when public schools are not working and we are still subsiding public education which isn’t reaching everyone? What does this mean to tax payers who don’t have children in the school system, private or public? On a side note: this also brings home the fact that most of child rearing is subsidized by the state. Education, day care and food. If the state is playing nanny to the child, why do parents want to have children? Because: career? So are tax payers subsiding children’s education or public sector employees public funds and parents career choices?
- Thetawaves 6y agoThis conclusion is extremely myopic. Is this really the best you can come up with to the question 'why should people have kids?' and 'why should the government ensure that its citizens are educated?'
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoI will ignore the barely veiled contempt and give you my best answer. YES. I don’t think there is a shortage of kids in our planet. Taxpayers are not ‘taking care of kids’ ..they are subsidizing parents’ lifestyles and choices. I am really not very sympathetic towards this.
