@DebTon20 @Glazertwalker The weaker private schools *are* closing

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@AdamJ10812 @GMcCor What I meant was, the money is not spent on paying individual teachers more than they would earn in other lines of work or teaching in the state system. They are just run inefficiently in terms of class sizes

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@GMcCor Likewise allocation of land, private school pupils have 10x as much outdoor space. A lot of it is simply not used at all.

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@GMcCor But not efficiently, class sizes are very small. It isn't like the teachers are paid more. You are just taking good teachers and then wasting their abilities by putting them in front of few pupils.

@jimmy_1975 English eggs are cheap because we are allowing the river Wye to be trashed. If we made producers stop waste leaching into the river they'd charge more for eggs and chicken

@jimmy_1975 You are not comparing like with like. English bread is shiiiite compared with Danish or French bread

@DebTon20 @Glazertwalker The main problem is it is costing money which the government doesnt have. The policy was sold under false pretences and consumed govt attention that should have been directed at growing the economy

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@DebTon20 @Glazertwalker .. then those families will have far more disposable income left to cope with the cost of living crisis

@Sicee420 @mindofprospect I'm ok with them creating the themepark jobs but there must be better use of the public funds

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@mindofprospect @Sicee420 With better weather...

@hayek_tendency *Fewer* pupils, not *less* pupils.

@mindofprospect I live near Legoland, the roads can be a sh*tshow near there. These themeparks do generate a lot of traffic but they should pay for the roads near them

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@mindofprospect When my local football team moved their stadium *they* had to pay for the roads to be upgraded

@mindofprospect Can they not just borrow money from a bank?

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@mindofprospect Why do they need a government subsidy?

[Al Sam @apsamuelson]

@EducationNotTax @ISC_schools Why do you whinge so much about VAT on private schools where the real scandal the the cost of University?
