Public High School not free?

Punch Buggy !!!

I don't pay for any fees at this time for my children at their particular public school. I would say it depends on the budget...what was passed and what didn't pass. There have been times here that certain public schools have not passed certain things in the budget and the families/kids had to pay out of pocket for certain things. Although it was nothing like books, labs or anything for classes...it was sports or extra curricular activities.

I don't pay fees for public high schools. Never have and never will.

Here in India, people pay admission fee, library fee, medical fees etc. Those whose income is very low, they have to make special application for exemption from fees. Otherwise, a nominal fee is charged and people do not mind paying because compared to private school, the fee is negligible.

yes i pay all kinds of fees

Yep here in Australia every school has a fee of some kind and the amount varies widely. I paid this year alone 250 per student in high school which was on top of an education allowance. In the primary paid art Levy's administration costs library costs photo copying contribution ( but has to supply a ream of office paper)

Where are you located. I would like to know where this is going on Anyways I think it's a neat idea for parents to have to pay fees for High school.. Surely senior citizens shouldn't have to fork over money. They have nothing to do with schools

Education costs have gone up while education budgets have been cut in many places. Add to that the fact that people don't want to pay more taxes, and you have today's mess. Politicians talk about supporting education, but many do not.

we pay for it all too. nothing comes for free you know. oh wait...MYLOT DOES!!!lololol
