Today we talk to locals about state schools and the hidden costs putting a child through school entails

00:00Almost certainly. I have no knowledge here. I don't have kids. I don't know how that factors

00:09into any budgets, really. Yeah, I think probably people don't imagine all of, like, all the

00:15different ways it can cost money. People probably think about staffing and resources, but I

00:19wouldn't know much beyond that. I guess building, heating, all that kind of stuff. I don't know.

00:24But yes, I would imagine there's a lot more going on than I know about.

00:27Do you have any idea how much it kind of costs to send a child to put a child through state

00:32school? I have no idea. I have never been to state school. None of my family has. I would

00:40imagine that it's ridiculously overpriced. I don't know how much it would cost. I should

00:45think it's phenomenally expensive, and I certainly think schools aren't paid for what children

00:50nowadays need. I think that it should be abolished anyway. I don't think there should be state

00:54education. I don't think there is a problem if it's really expensive, because I don't

00:58think anyone should go to it anyway.
