Public schools ask parents to make voluntary contributions because they need the funds…
State governments have consistently not met their funding targets for public schools. On current timelines – and provided future governments deliver the funds – schools will not have their full funding entitlements until 2034.
This puts school principals in a very difficult situation. Their schools are not properly funded by the government and there are limits to their ability to seek additional funds from parents.
2034? Do they really want our public education to fall further behind? I don’t understand how they can justify this.
YES! Republicans have been attacking public education for decades . They want to create a caste system with their kids getting taxpayer subsidized private schooling (because they are still made about desegregation) and the masses oppressed and stupid and forced to work for pennies at their businesses.
Working class people are going through some insane and scary times in your country. I wish for you that you truly become united and change the power structure to real representation and a real government of the people that restores your education, health and other essential services. The Australian working class is not as badly abused as in your country but we’re moving in that direction. Stay strong!
Republicans? Wrong Channel? LLM?
Didn’t notice the community this was in. Your right wing gets the same Murdoch propoganda though
I’m not disagreeing, it was just a misplaced sentence as written
Also, you got banned from memes@lemmy.ml for pointing out they can take everything as a comment about communism? Nice work
Yeah they are quick to jump to the defense of their favorite authoritarians.
Is that ban like highlighted in my profile or something? Or was it that memorable?
Ah, sorry for highlighting it like this
To be honest, from a single comment you could have been a bot so I scanned your comments and modlog
And to me it’s a bit memorable because I haven’t found lemmy.ml channels to be pleasant but it’s not something you know when you join Lemmy. I just slowly noticed my comments there frequently lead to large numbers of people disagreeing in ways I found unpleasant so now I don’t subscribe to channels from the instance and am pretty quick to block anyone from the instance
Anyway, I’m happy to delete the comment if you want. Just let me know
Oh it’s fine. I was just curious, like maybe is shown up in a power tripping mod post or something. I’ve now blocked the instance. I think I had on my Lemmy account, but was trying out piefed and I guess I missed it.
