There is no more reason to pay for private education than there is to pay for a private swimming pool for those who do not use public facilities.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am opposed to the use of public funds for private education.
Much of what's called 'public' is increasingly a private good paid for by users - ever-higher tolls on public highways and public bridges, higher tuitions at so-called public universities, higher admission fees at public parks and public museums.
How can the cost of education be the cost of life? It is unacceptable; it is reprehensible that we have allowed it to fester.
It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it, but that's not the world we live in.
Higher educating has so many challenges, and private higher education has a special challenge of ever rising tuition costs.
I don't believe in private education.
We can't afford not to fully fund education.
I don't think the schools are getting as much money as they should.
You want private education for your students? No problem whatsoever; pay for it.
As public schools deteriorate, the upper-middle class and wealthy send their kids to private ones. As public pools and playgrounds decay, the better-off buy memberships in private tennis and swimming clubs. As public hospitals decline, the well-off pay premium rates for private care.
