That brings up a good question. How much of a tax payer's money goes to public schooling yearly?
I was going to ask just that. I'm pretty sure it isn't some high number like 12,500. While I think a private "component" to schools is fine, full privatization leads to the ridiculous tuition fee you quoted. I went to high school in Montreal. It was a private school, but still partially funded by government. There was a clear distinction between my school and what some public schools I've seen look like. My yearly tuition was about 10% of the number you quoted, and I don't think the quality was all that bad.
