But not necessarily the cost of training their teachers.

Very true. Teaching is another career that is far less attractive than years ago so now there has to be incentives. When all the assessment started a close friend who had been a teacher and many thought would seek a headship couldn't get out fast enough - ' I went in to teaching to educate children, not to fill in forms ' .

Years ago, certainly pre 1948, unless their family could help people had to work and live as cheaply as possible save up for their training.

People that can afford it should pay more.

I concur, but their taxes shouldn't also have to subsidise the state school system if they're not using it.

It's general tax collection from people that can afford it to pay more. Where it goes doesn't matter.

You may think that, I couldn't possible comment...other than to ask what criteria do you use to decide they can afford to pay more.

The man who has begun a legal challenge to the proposed DUP deal with the Tories has said that he will not be walking away from the challenge until either the DUP-Tory talks collapse or he has exhausted court options.

Brave guy Ciaran Mclean, is ready stand-up against the establishment .
He's a Mental Health Worker and Green Party candidate (What a bastard eh?)
I salute you Ciaran, whatever the result.

Good luck to him - my hero
