Individual responsibility shouldn't be sacrificed to the government to make decisions for us.

I like SOME government intervention. It makes me feel my life is in someone elses control and it won't go spiraling out of control =)

LOL. I don't know how to respond to that.
I'm thinking: if you want someone to control parts of your life, make a deal with an insurance agency or something haha, but there's no reason why governments have to intervene in everyone's life. Also, note that by intervention, I mean unnecessary intervention: I believe in government intervention in order to ensure private contracts and individual liberties are protected (e.g: stopping someone trying to steal from someone else via the police or courts).

Fair enough. I just think that government intervention plays an important role in upholding society which is why I believe that sometimes morals and ethics should be embedded within our policy because it keeps people safe and happy =)
Lol I am talking like a 2 year old haha. All I really want to say is " I like government intervention" haha

I'm a public school kid who had a positive experience. I'm kind of fond of my school and I don't think I would have performed better anywhere else. If anything, I think lower performing students would do better in private schools because of the more disciplined academic atmosphere.
Yeah, I find that those fees are ridiculously high, but if you want to pay them, go ahead. I think you can have just as good quality education at a public school, as long as the student is open to the learning opportunities.

Parents paying $12,000 for prep is a waste of money in my opinion. A private education is worth investing in at Year 7 perhaps, but dishing out thousands as said earlier for a prep to learn abc's is crazy.
