last weekend I took my kids to the Florey primary school fete where my two boys go to school. There were crowds of parents running stalls, selling things and helping to raise money in a communal efffort to improve the education of our children. My kids wandered around happily buying lollies and trinkets, I bought some plants and simply enjoyed the happy atmosphere. Overall I suspect that this school too probably raised a few thousand dollars to buy books for the library, instruments for the band etc.

And it also made my blood boil to read about the outrageous property purchases being made by private schools in Sydney and elsewhere. It infuriates me that even 1 cent of my taxes goes to fund this rubbish. They should bulldoze the lot of these bloody bastions of privilege and elitism. Come the Revolution…:-)
