School funding - be radical - let the parents decide

I have wanted to weigh in for some time now on the provincial school funding issue but I wanted to wait and see how the debate would unfold before adding my two cents. It’s hard to believe all three parties are lead by such complete and utter putzs. I have heard so much crap from all three provincial party leaders that I had to double check the sign leading into the province to make sure it still read “Welcome to Ontario”.

I’ve had children in both the private, public and separate school system. If I were to rate the school boards with first choice being the best is would go like this – private, separate and only when absolutely necessary - public.

There is only one solution to this issue and it is called SCHOOL VOUCHERS. Let all parents freely decided what learning environment works best for their children.

The public system exists solely to support their Unions, they don't seem to have any other raison d'etre.

While it is nice that public school teachers are fantastically rich and entire stock markets cater to them - it is certainly not in the best interests of students.

Vouchers are the way to go, the religious can do what they want - with their own money, provided their kids can pass standardized tests.
