Indeed, Frank. I think I'll just take the confusion with you as a compliment, and not waste any time trying to fathom what it is s/he's on about.

HRS,

As I asked above, please examine the evidence in the above undisputed facts, such as the uncertain meaning of "vote for".

Surely you were taught to look at facts for yourself, not just accept or repeat opinions before relevant examining facts. You may believe that the meaning of "vote for" is certain, but the High Court disagrees.

In Michael Moore's Sicko, Tony Benn (I'm pretty sure it was him) makes the following great remark "Democracy moved power from the wallet to the ballot." Being able to buy a "better" education for your children has nothing to do with democracy -people with means have been able to do that since Roman times. The great founding principle of democracy, surely, is that all children are entitled to a decent education regardless of who their parents are, in their own right as citizens. Having to rely on being lucky enough to be born to parents who are either able or willing to pay for you to get a decent start in life spells the end of real democracy, it seems to me.

C.J Morgan and Frank Gol,
Maybe I’d have to communicate like Liz (the non-ignorant and non-feminist teacher) before you can understand me. I’d have to communicate by using abuse and vulgarity.

Humble Jack,
There is minimal democracy or voting in the education system. You get what you are given, and if you want “more”, then you have to pay for it.

Not good, but that is the way it currently is.

Just thought I'd let you know, considering you think so highly of me, and you are also so taken with private schools, that I am, infact, the product of a private school education.

Liz,
You obviously went to the wrong private school. There is a choice available with private schools, but not much choice with public schools, and not much say either.

But if things get any worse in public or private schools, then a parent could always send their children to another country, where the children can't understand the language from the teacher.

Its not that ridiculous. I have heard of professors in US universities who have sent their sons and daughters to universities in other countries, rather than sending them to a US university. Australia will probably follow along the same path.
