that was the principle applied by Howard. it seemed reasonable at the time. but of course it resulted in every increasing funds going to private schools where the wealthy can afford to pay the total bill for their children's education.
like private hospitals, private schools don't offer the same curriculum as public schools. the religious focus more strongly on proselytising their captive student audience.
funny too how you contradict yourself below this post. ..... "I'd like it to work that only people who have children should fund schools, but that will never happen!"....... not you brightest comment. we live in a national economy. public education is every child's right.
if people want to send their kids to a religious wealthy school they certainly should be expected to pay more and not have their choices subsidised by the poor. but all kids deserve the same quality of education. therefore its reasonable to expect the govt to fund public schools to the best minimum to provide a similar standard of education to those being sent to private schools. Note: this about education, not facilities.
