Your tax dollars at work: Sydney’s elite private schools are now paying executive teams $5M+ a year while charging families $50k+ in fees.
Meanwhile, the Feds subsidise these profit machines at 3:1 compared to public schools (yes, private schools get three times as much).
So ask yourself: where is your tax money actually going?

#FundPublicSchools Republicans' culture wars distract from their motive: Rs want children to be ignorant & indoctrinated, so they'll vote GOP. They suppress the vote at colleges & push vouchers that defund public schools: But amid debates about how children will process texts invoking racism or sexual identity, a more basic Q plagues our EDU system: whether children can process texts. OK: #49 in EDU, but a top school official is trying to ban use of the word “diverse”🚨-: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/05/23/librarian-book-bans-declining-literacy/
A far bigger problem than book bans? Declining literacy.

The real problem is not that kids are reading controversial books but that their literacy is declining.
