Sure, they don't turn anyone away, but is that benevolence, or because they are not allowed to turn anyone away.
I don't think one side "cares more." I think there's significant arguments against both sides.

Would you support increased taxes then? I'm sure some of the money would go towards education and new schools. I think the CBE does the best they can do with the money they are given. Part of the reason for the lower standard of education is because they are losing great teachers to private institutions because they cannot offer then the same kind of money private schools can.
So are you saying we should start turning kids away in order to keep classroom sizes down? Because that seems to be a little bit of what you are hinting at. Education is a universal right - and that has to be taken into account here.
