How is this a public school system? (summary)

       It's a fact that schools  full of rich kids raise more money from parents than public schools full of poor kids.
     
       Is a public school in Rosedale better than one in Malvern? If you answer yes than what kind of public-education system do we have?  

      Their is a report that recommend banning parental donations to public schools, contingent upon  the provincial government funding all schools to a level where donations would be unnecessary. They would be  better off with their Plan B which is pooling all parental donations and distributing them evenly but even that's a pretty brazen ask.

     There is a report that is comparing fundraising between Toronto District School Board learning index.  The more money that a school fundraisers per student the school would get a better rating , the less money a school fundraises per student the school would get a lower rating.

     This does not mean a straight-line correlation between fundraising and academic achievement, as the top 10 ranking schools show. It does not mean that because you don't raise more money than another school your grade would be better.  It will depend on the teachers you have in the school, they are worth more than the donations.

     Provincial curriculum should be available to all students without a single extra dime being paid.  Since no student should be excluded from participating in any school activity or event base on the ability to pay, some activities or event may require some recovery of the cost for participation.

     The more money a school funraises the better programs they have for example the Pathways to Education, the unapologetically interventionist and spectacularly successful program, that help prods, lures and counsels student.  While the poorer school who do not fundraise and  bring in more money they cannot afford this  program for their school.  Such programs cost a fortune, relatively speaking, but it is paid by all of us whether or not we have kids and wherever they go to school.  A few long-term government investments promise better payoffs down the line.  People have always debated the importance of social inequalities but no one dines the importance of education.
