Deodato Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Parents who sent their kids to a private school present a triple tax benefit to the state school population. 1. They likely pay higher rates of tax, aka lots of tax (and use very little public services) 2. They opt out of the state system and finance the creation of their own education, creation jobs as well as offering ample scholarships to kids who can't afford it 3. State schools get the tax money but not the child, so it free's up more places For folk who whinge, what would you prefer? Once could (even) argue that private school fees should be tax deductible, but we don't. Americans do. #reciprocity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some absolute wallopers keep expanding vouchers by which you can make local governments help you pay your private school directly. It emerged immediately after school desegregation when a bunch of parents wanted to keep their kids from having to go to school with Black kids but balked at the cost and it’s been bouncing from one justification to another ever since.

According to the Court of Lord Lyon, it is. And, if it isn't, then what is the Saltire and why is it in our club's crest? Quote THE SALTIRE The flag of St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. Blue with a white or silver diagonal cross reaching to its edges, this is the correct flag for all Scots or Scottish corporate bodies to fly to demonstrate their loyalty and their Scottish nationality. Its proportions are not fixed, but 5:4 is suitable. It is correct both to fly it with or instead of the Union Flag. http://www.scotarmigers.net/pdfs/info-leaflet-3.pdf Ever seen this?

I went back into education as a poor man with reasonable intelligence, a bit of knowhow, a wealth of ife experience, and more drive than was probably healthy. The poshos couldn't have been more encouraging and helpful. What I had mistaken for arrogance was confidence - a 'can do' attitude that me and a load of my mates could've done with a slice of all those years ago. I made some good friends amongst the minor landed gentry, and although I'll never be 'one of them', they'll never been one of me either, and that's no bad thing. My experiences are far from unique, there were quite a few of us schemies mixing it up with the rahs, and don't get me started about the bursds. They love a peasant. Now there is definately a glass ceiling for us common folks, but it's a lot higher than you might imagine it to be, and it's certainly not unbreakable.
