Why does the governmentcontinually decrease fundingfrom public schools. We cantall afford private education
Our schools desperately need more funding. Private schools get funding they dont need, yet public schools are barely giving our children the education they need. Classroom sizes are big and staff resources are stretched. Australian people are being forced to put their children in private schooling so they leave school and know how to read and write properly! The problem with this is our country will become a 2 class society. Upper and lower. This is already evident with certain careers eg:doctors. Only the rich can provide the money necessary for their children to go to Private schools or Uni. Education should be free!!! Are we destined to be another "America" where the rich get richer and the poor live under bridges with their kids as they couldnt afford their rent and the government wont support them?. Come on John Howard give us a break. You are paying women to have children our schools cant afford to educate! Hope you are planning to open enough factories to employ them!
I'm from the US, so not entirely in touch with your problems, though that's never stopped me from answering before! The problem with elected officials is that they all want to be re-elected. If you want to pay for public schools, then you have to do it through taxes, but these days... everyone hates the idea of new or higher taxes. If you want politicians who'll make the tough call when it's needed, you have to have term limits. Being a politician used to be a public service that you did for a time, and then went back to your other career. Today, politicians see the service as a lifelong career with the high probability of even bigger bucks at the end (speaker's fees, book deals, etc.), and so won't make the tough calls. That all said, I don't entirely get your criticism of the US. Education in the US is free through grade 12 for everyone, even non-citizens, and our college system is among the most affordable pay-to-play systems in the world (some state uni's can cost as little as $1,500/year without scholarships). If I had a criticism of our system for shrinking the middle class, it wouldn't be related to education. ...irrelevant to your quesion, I know, but felt the need to mention this nonetheless.
Do you think football goeswith or against wellness?Should public schools beinvolved in it?
I know you have to be in good shape to play it, but does playing that game make help your physical condition? Or just tear down the body through constant impact? And why to government funded, public schools need to have football programs?
I wish I had never played and had just stuck to boxing or wrestling. Football is very bad for the skeleton.

Teach it in religion class or Philosophy and it is fine.

Had nothing to do with marriage as this would be a violation of States rights and Jefferson believe in State over Federal Protected the property of churches...because they already owned land Required that in legal proceedings some oath be sworn but did not mandate any official oath Granted land to ANY schools. Allowed government property and facilities to be used for worship by appointment for private functions and were not state sponsered Allowed but never officially encouraged clergy to hold office because the Constitution that he helped write said it could not disqualify based on religion and clergy were educated unlike most of the public Funded ANY books for public libraries to increase literacy Never funded missionaries Did NOT Exempt churches from taxation as they already were under previous tax laws Had nothing to do with schools of theology during his term Never wrote any treaties himself once he became President
