And the BCTF calculates funding has jumped 45.6 per cent for private schools since 2005 while public school funding rose only 16.9 per cent. Group One private schools -- which include most religion-based institutions -- get 50 per cent of their operating funds from government, while Group Two is composed of private schools charging higher tuition and tougher admission requirement -- they get 35 per cent funding. Whats the big selling point for those private schools besides no labour disputes? Ironically, its smaller class sizes and simpler class composition -- the two big issues BCTF members are on picket lines to improve, beyond their wages. How long are we going to allow them to manipulate us? If the elitist bastards want elevated levels of education for their own children in private schools, let them pay for it. Private schools should never receive a penny of public tax money. As it stands now, everyone, including minimum wage earners are contributing to a government subsidy toward the education of the children of the wealthy. Why dont people get it? Why cant people see whats happening?
