    "WHILE education experts across Australia grapple with Gonski, high school graduates thinking of a career in teaching ought to think again - because in the future the traditional role may be gone-ski. Instead, tutoring is tipped to take on a very different form."

      Sure, private schools are advantaged and perhaps the government shouldn't give them money. But, for parents who already pay upwards of $25000 for school fees each year, expecting more facilities etc., who also pay tax like all other Australian, why should they not be given the same support? If the government take funding from private schools, they will increase the cost of private schools, meaning that some students will then have to go into the public system, and the extra funds will just go to supporting these students. What are your thoughts?

      Unfortunately, in our society money talks. And if you are paying $25G, you want to see higher quality, or at least, a low student-teacher ratio. That is, after all, what you are paying for!

      Maybe, instead of looking at how we can get more money (i.e. by taking it from private schools), we should be looking at spending our money more wisely!
