No, it's responsibility to provide is catered for in government schools system. If parents take a choice to opt out of that system/government responsibility, then (philosophically) I'm saying it should be at theirs/their non-goverment education provider's cost. Imo the rest of the community/the government system shouldn't have to suffer the loss of funding for that choice.
Yes. I'm arguing that they (the parents and the non-govt education providers) should fund it more.
An example of where religion (or subsidised religious education) and politics intersect... and they shouldn't.
Sure, in the government system, with additional funding available from making the wealthy non-govt education providers pay more of their own way.
Because the system is f**ked, is based on historical lobbying and polictics rather than need, is maintained by the power plays of the wealthy non-govt education providers, and is propped up by the aspirational inclination of the modern populace (on the back of snazzy marketing and media coverage supportive of the private education sector - and the income it all generates).
Agree economic banding in some form needs to be a bigger part of the mix - preferrably closing the loopholes currently used by wealthy fee-for-entry private schools to obtain better funding per student than the public schools in their same areas. But it seems pollies don't have the bravery to actually put this properly into practice.
