70 sats \ 4 replies \ @Coinsreporter 6 Jul \ parent \ on: What If Public Schools Were Abolished? econ
You know the situation in here is quite different. Most of the parents currently has not been to a private school, but now they want to send their kids to these schools because they believe that private schools are the only schools where their kids can learn better. This may be a truth but I was talking about how they are taking too much fees and charges for everything.
More than one-third of the country' s population, around 480 million, is below 18 years. All schools are almost running at full capacity. They know that they can do whatever they want but the strength of students won't be lowering.

It wouldn't surprise me to hear that there's a cultural issue of putting excessive pressure on parents to overspend on their kids' educations. We certainly have similar issues here.
I don't think the right answer is to have the government take away their options, though.

I think it is becoming that way in the USA, too. We have public schools, but all the after school activities are really draining parents bank accounts.

One major problem I have noticed is that both parents now have to work to make ends meet, so they don't have time for the education of their children anymore...

I myself own a small private school in a village. So, I don't want that government take away the options but it certainly needs some improvements.
