Quote:Umm, agreed? It doesn't change the fact that use of the education system is not proportional to owning property. Therefore, I think the funding scheme leaves something to be desired.
It's not meant to be proportional to use of the system. That's kind of the whole point. Unless you want a country where only a portion of the population has anything but home schooling as a viable option for grade school education. Do you think a family of 6 living in an apartment or trailer park is going to make enough money from property tax relief to fund private education for their kids? And if they do, do you think those teachers are going to be well paid?
