1. Labor is not anti-choice. You can still send your kids to a private school if you have the money. The amounts they are taking off each of those top schools aren't that much really compared to what those schools would rake in each year. They aren't trying to cripple private schools, they are just trying to make things more equitable. A large proportion of the money they are taking off these big schools is going to smaller private schools and Catholic schools as well, not just public schools.
2. Some of you private school kiddies are missing out on some things that no amount of government funding will ever teach you and that is quite apparent by the things you post, particularly in this thread. Once again I bring up John Howard's point that private schools teach values.... one just has to question whether they are the best values to be teaching....
3. As I kid I used to think my school was pretty good.... but when I was doing the HSC and trying to compete with these schools essentually, and especially now after moving to Sydney and seeing the facilities that these private, and even some of the public schools, I have come to the realization of how unjust the distribution of government funding is, and how comparatively disadvantaged my school, and other schools in the area I am from, are.... this is in terms of resources, because I had some great teachers etc and the quality of your teachers in state schools doesn't really depend on funding... but still, the system needs to be made fairer because frankly it kinda sucks right now.
