I'm not sure if people really realize this, but every child that goes to a private school saves the tax payer money. Yes private schools get public funds, but at a far reduced amount than public schools. The more and more that private schools can perform well, with reduced public funds the more efficient financially education becomes.
We really should support more education options. Whether it's a religious school, sports school, arts school, academic school. (For the record I don't have kids in any of these schools). Having a 100% public school only run and funded by the NDP certainly shouldn't be our goal as a province.
I'm just making the point here, not suggesting your post is against private schools (just the ones you don't agree with)
