On a just barely related note, in Washington we recently had to put down an insidious motion called the charter schools act (or something very close), which would have, in effect, created essentially private schools receiving public funding. The argument was that tax dollars should follow students and not schools (quoting almost directly here). This would have taken even more money away from the already poor public schools we have around here. It pissed me off so much. I know schools differ from state to state. I think I must have been unlucky in being born in Washington.

Jeez, who thought Australia would be ahead of the US in something like that? We've had private school funding for years and its been growing constantly under our current Prime Minister, John Dickwad. I mean, Howard.
