Personally I'm glad we have a system which ensures all our children have access to a good and rounded education. Regardless as to whether their parents are wealthy or poor.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? I think my earlier posts should have been sufficient for you to grasp the point I am making. I am NOT opposed to LOCAL communities using taxpayer dollars to fund education.....although, to be honest, I prefer education vouchers, (with no strings attached mind you), so that parents may have the autonomy to choose the schools their children attend....whether public or private. What I don't want is the involvement of the federal government in Washington, DC.
