Its completely ridiculous how the government (all parties) fund private schools.

SOB

Didn't you read my post? Private schools SAVE the Govt around $7 Billion dollars annually.

Actually the figure is more like $8.3 Billion according to ISCA (Independent Schools Council of Australia).

Quote:

From ISCA Having independent schools saves Commonwealth and State governments in order of $3.9 billion a year in recurrent funding alone. That is, for the governments of Australia to educate in government schools those students currently attending non-government schools would cost an additional $8.3 billion per annum of which approximately $3.9 billion is attributed to students attending independent schools. In the absence of the non-government school sector, either total government spending on education (and most likely taxation) would have to increase or average government funding per student in government schools would need to be reduced.

Governments, even quasi socialist Labor Govts know this.

That's why they fund private schools. It's a no brainer...

So what? Doesnt mean the government should be propping up businesses.

SOB

A business?

Private schools are a business?

Who receives the profits Miss Borg?

Are there share holders.

How much dividend is paid?

Of course they are businesses since they are "private". Some may be churches and so we will never know where the money goes though.

SOB

private schools are all comprehensively audited as part of the process of receiving govt funding.

try again.

and $20 Million for a pool is OK? not sure what the auditors are checking, but I could get them a nice pool for a lot less than that.

actually SAVES the govt tens of billions of dollars a year.

firstly, the figure given was $8.3 B not 10's off .... nice try

secondly, that figure is given by the Independent Schools Council of Australia, do you think they might try talking themselves up so as to ask for more funding? get real longlooser ... the truth is that the only ones making that claim is the private schools themselves ... everyone else knows it's a load of sh it... look at Sweden, considered the best education system in the world with the best results .. why ? no private schools.

Yeah I am sure thats the reason.

Strangely, I have always found people who dislike the private school system are those who never went to one.

Those of us who did have always been a fan of them.

You have already said you went to a state school full of wogs but anyway thats not the point.

The system should be very simple -

1) Every child should have the benefit of taxpayer's money to go towards their education.
2) Every school and I mean EVERY school should receive the same funding per pupil.
3) Then if schools wish to charge on top of that for additional quality of either school or quality of teaching etc, trips - then they can do that.

That way, the private school kids receive the better education and advantage - but they have to pay for it.

What on earth is the point of having only some schools receive funding from the Government and others receive nothing?

Completely defeats the object of paying to get a better education.

Make it a level playing field for Government funding.

Every school receives the same as each other.
Public or private.

Please refrain from the childish name calling Johnny, you do it a lot lately and just reflect poorly on you.

yes quite correct, the truth is that currently the public schools receive MORE government funding per student than the private schools. it is the parents of private school kids who are being ripped off

I have to chuckle when Lefties take ownership of taxpayer funds as though they were there's when they are clearly from the majority that pay the minority of taxes (the slavemasters).

You received the Rudd handout.
Unless you have successfully reduced your tax income by HALF you earn less than me.

You trip yourself up Johnny. If we are honest you do earn less than me.

Ignoring your fking absurd per hour route by the way.

no, it's your absurd horly rate, not mine ...

As far as receiving the Rudd handout as you put it, I am self employed ... just like you reduced your profit to minimise tax when you sold your house, so do I .... except that being self employed and working from home means I can reduce it significantly. ....

as an accountant you should know that what one pays in tax is not always a true indicator of what one earns .. i seem to recall Packer one years paid $30 in tax ... do you think you earned more than Packer that year? I'm starting to think you aren't such a hot shot accountant after all ....
