There are also about 40,000 private school students in the province and I've seen it stated that 700,000 students are affected by the ATA strike, so at that rate, ~6% of students receive ~3% of the funding.
Again, these are insignificant numbers in the scheme of things. Eliminating and redirecting the funding to private schools will achieve approximately the square root of #### all... especially once you factor in the number of students that would re-enter the public school population and need to be funded at the full rate.
The focus for parents of all students, whether public or private, should be adequate and proper funding for all students in Alberta.

Oh, I 100% agree with you. Making this an us-vs-them problem is a mistake, and the lesser funding for kids in private school isn't an issue. The issue is insufficient funding in total.
