Hey Fraser Institute why not do a study of population demographics between public and private schools? Just doing an educational comparison is bogus. Oh wait this is not about fairness thisis the Fraser Institute after all.

Too bad someone doesn’t do a study on who funds the Fraser Institute, and what they hope to get out it. Oh well, just like its alter ego, the Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives, it provides employment for economists. Who are always on call to provide data on demand to back up the pre-conceived notions of those who fund their employers.

socredible–How true.It would be interesting to see all names that are funding the fraser Institute.

GOOD-This way I know which School is the Best One to send my Kids to.

The Best ones should also get more Money per student–This would make all the Schools try Harder.

Oneofakind, that’s a terrible idea. Under that principal, everyone would send their kids to these high rating schools with excess budgets. If anything a larger budget should be allocated to struggling schools for better programs to compensate. If a school is already efficient on its given budget, there is no need to further finance it in excess… If you’re looking for something that rates high and meets your child’s needs, seek private education and pay for it yourself. I’d prefer my tax dollars go to those in need…

Private education also gets taxpayer money.

Spoken like a true socialist! Give all the schools the same per sturdent, find out who is doing a lousy job and give them more money instead of finding out why some schools are doing better and emulating them.

There might be a lot of reasons besides teacher ability why some schools do a better job than others.

Kids don’t get their education only from the classroom. Some parents are able to assist their kids in gaining knowledge better than others are.

Some have the financial wherewithal to do that, while others lack it, some simply have the time that others can’t spare, or a better background of knowledge to pass on to their siblings.

I wonder if the Fraser Institute takes any of these things into consideration when it engages in this annual foolishness?

Better it stick to figuring out when ‘Tax Freedom Day’ is. Maybe some day they’ll even clue in to why, if we provided all the things privately government provides for us now, and paid for them directly ourselves; or alternately, if the government took the other half of our annual incomes they don’t take in taxes now, and provided us with all the other things we now pay for directly ourselves, either way we’d still be IN DEBT.
