Re: Getting rid of the Anglo Disease tax finance (none / 0)

Private schools can expel or refuse to admit students who have behavioural issues and/or academically challenged. Public schools can't.

I don't know what you call that, but I call it cream skimming.

Public schools are run and owned by the local authority ("kommun") while private schools ("friskolor") are run and owned by private interests, often the teachers and or the principal.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
