Well we're saying we want to be able to help ALL childrean with education/language/etc. problems within the PUBLIC system. So if that means we tell all private schools you have to find your own funding now (even if it only makes up a 6.2% gain in funding), I'm fine with that.
Yes, it may be misguided, but this is kind of a we will take whatever we can get situation at this point, due to the years of mismanagement.

I think there's plenty of other places you could go for that money before you take it away from the education of a moderate income kid with dyslexia.
Personally I'd suggest a PST and less insane handouts to coal companies as good places to start.
