Charter schools are the same way. I know parents that put their kids on waiting lists before they could walk, and even that was too late.
Personally, I like the idea of a voucher system, as mentioned by Peter in post 107; all students in Alberta should be given the same funding, regardless of the taxes their parents pay, or the education and financial decisions their parents make. But then again, maybe I have a different view of equality than you do.

Students at private/charter schools receive more funding for their education than those at public schools do they not?
