I think I must have hit a nerve at Kinchblog and where’d that bug go blogs with my forced pencil sharing commentary. At least jeff at bug agrees with me that school items that are needed for the curriculum should be funded by tax payers.
As I commented on jeff’s blog:
Thanks for agreeing with SOME of my post. I want to clarify that I am all for our education system buying everything until 9th grade. That’s the way it was when I was in school, and I think it should continue.
I don’t like the fact that teachers FORCE the kids to do it. As I mentioned, my daughter does know well enough to share when it’s needed. But it isn’t the teachers place to force it. Sharing comes from the heart, not from a whip.But thanks for trying to paint me as a tyrant. I’ll remember that (and laugh) when I give to the food bank or donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, or walk door to door with my daughter to raise money for gymnastics equipment for children who can’t afford it as I do yearly.
Did I mention sharing comes from the heart and not from a whip?
I have no clue what changed, but I do know that everything was paid for until I started 9th grade. At that point I remember going with my friends to Grand And Toy and getting our school supplies, binders, paper, etc. It was a big day getting out there on my own to buy supplies. Text books were still supplied by the school at that point and I didn’t have to buy a text until grade 13 (in Ontario) and again in all my post secondary endeavours.
Funny, that when I was in university I gave my old texts back to the school for less fortunate kids instead of selling them.
Ohh….did I mention that sharing comes from the heart and not from a whip??

You cant demand tax cuts, and then when you get them, demand all things should be paid for by the tax payers.

Mulder says “I am all for our education system buying everything until 9th grade.”
That’s pretty specific Tyler, that’s not all things, at all times, in all places.
Its a politicians job to set priorities and the more money they take the less likely it is that they will do that job.
So yes you can have your tax cuts and get your pencils too.

Jeff at wheredthatbuggo is probably the most intellectually challenged commenter to have visited my blog. I wouldn’t put much weight behind anything he says or waste any time visiting his blog. I’m sure most of the other libloggers realize he’s a crackpot.

Money bags says “So yes you can have your tax cuts and get your pencils too.”
Especially when Liberal lawyers and Kyoto credits aren’t taking all our tax dollars.
I’m ecstatic that Jim Flaherty is starting to put money where it belongs. Into the pockets of Canadians.
