Shall we assume you also disapprove of it, for the same reasons you don't support a state run nationalised health service?

Sorry about that, dear. Didn't mean to ignore your earlier comment. Yes, you would be correct in that assumption. I have no objection to schools being funded and operated by local communities using taxpayer dollars.....which is the way it used to be. In this way, parents have a great deal of control over the education of their children. It is the federal government and their meddling that I have a problem with. Hence the rise of home schooling and private school enrollments. Public school teachers are the most likely to send their own children to private school. Speaks volumes.
