Unpopular opinion: Schooling in a public system should be 100% free. Wtf even is this thing where January comes and parents are completely cleaned out for uniforms, bus passes, computers, books and the rest of it anyway. Tax the damn corporations and make state schools free.
Also: Do you know how much it costs for a yearly student bus pass in Victoria? Over $600. *Just* to get a child to the school gate. I went to school in NSW, and had a free bus pass.
No one should be financially disadvantaged because of sending their children to a state school - not when that education significantly benefits society as a whole.
And before anyone starts going “Well people *choose* to have children etc etc etc blah blah blah”
Who do you think will be operating on you, caring for you, assisting you in your old age?
Other People’s Children.
Their education serves you.
