    I think private schools are ok if:

    • They have to teach at least the same curriculum as public schools, which has to be audited on their cost
    • The amount of public funding they may be eligible to is limited, in some way, by the amount of their gross revenue
    • They have to be secular, i.e. no (not even quasi-) mandatory religious classes, events etc. and such matters should not be presented as facts

      I kinda agree on all, but for me is not okey the government founding private schools when we already have public ones.

        I think it makes founding new schools easier, but yeah making the public pay for something they have to pay for to experienxe is a bit fucked. (cough museums and theaters)

        Where I live it also mainly gets abused by religious groups (christians, waldorf and other sects) and believers in “alternative teaching methods” that aren’t founded in reality but in some anecdotes from a late 1800s physician. (Although she at least had the aspiration to found scientific pedagogy, to bad that it turned into some bullshit religion -.-)
