>> In Sweden private for profit schools and schools run by the municipalities compete with each other. All of them are funded by the tax payers and they get a certain amount of money for every student.
How the hell can a school be "private", while being funded by taxpayers?
- Fomite 13y agoThe privatization of rewards while the public bears the risk is a pretty well established business model these days.
- anoncowherd 13y agoRight. I wasn't actually confused about what's going on, just wanted to point out it doesn't make sense :p
- dobbsbob 13y agoThey call these "PPP" public private partnerships. What happens is cronies of the ruling party are given money to avoid risk and get to run the business extracting all profits for themselves. The taxpayer is told hey this would cost 10x as much if we ran it.
- anoncowherd 13y agoYep, bullshit as usual.
