If that were to happen, the kids that want to learn would be learning. The kids that dont want to can learn something else. Society doesnt need 100% thinkers. We also need artist and workers. Can you imagine the amount of propoganda that could be cut out of their "schooling"?

And now a speech from NEA, largest teachers union: https://x.com/nickineily/status/1810314623025119676

In the UK, the new leftist government wants to impose 20% vat on private schools tuition fees. This may be unconstitutional because of the discriminatory application of the law, targeting private schools only.

The consequence would be that more children will be forced out of private schools and flood already overwhelmed public schools... 🤦‍♂️

They're deluding themselves if they think the additional tax revenue will contribue to improve public schools, but surely the real plan is to expose as many kids as possible to government propaganda...

Kids might actually learn something.

I studied in a government school here. There was no fees at all. For those kids who were curious, the education was there. So, it was good for me as well.

Then, I became a teacher in public school. They are there only to make the owners richer. From uniform to tution fees, everything's so costly but the wages are so less comparing those in government schools.

Even, there's a rule here that every school has to teach 25% students whose father has low income (say a poor kid). And their tution fees will be paid by government. But almost no school adheres to this. Instead, they take fees from kids and also take from government.

I want that public schools in India should be abolished. If not all, certainly the fully private ones need to be reprimanded by dismissal.

I see public education as a way of alleviating the widening rich-poor divide. Already, more affluent families are giving their children the best opportunities they can, by sending them for well-regarded tuition and enrichment classes. I feel that public education aims to distribute an equitable amount of resources to schools, regardless of whether they are in rich or poor neighbourhoods, thus giving kids from the lower socioeconomic classes a fighting chance. Or at least that’s how I feel about the state of public education in my country - even if meritocracy is more of a lofty ideal than when I was growing up.

it will be a shame cause not everybody has money for.... it should be accesible to everybody, it s a right

But it seems all around the world is a tendency to privatize every public sector as Health... :(

I would also predict a massive reduction in school violence. No doubt in my mind.

Public schools aim to provide equal opportunities for education, helping to reduce disparities based on income, race, or background. Without them, educational inequality could worsen, as wealthier families might access better education, while others might be left behind.

Hello friends, since I can remember I have studied in public school, I studied both my primary and secondary school, so today I am a totally integrated person who was educated by teachers who loved both teaching and their profession.
