All I can think about when I read what is being done to schools is "Care Homes".
First you "encourage" the local councils out of running their own homes and "encourage" private homes to spring up. In the initial phase, this means handing over homes and funding from the council for all the places. In this first phase, you accept that some "entrepreneurs" will make excessive profits. You work towards a completely changed system. Once the system has more or less changed over, homes find they cannot work on what they are allocated by councils who pass on the government funding. Some stop having council beds, some insist the family "top up" the fees, some charge more to those paying for themselves.
So it is with schools. First, you encourage the setting up of private schools, in which there are council places. In the initial phase, this may mean handing over buildings and the school places being entirely funded by the council. In this first phase, you accept that some "entrepreneurs" will make excessive profits. Once the system is more or less changed over, schools will find they cannot work on what they are allocated by councils who pass on the government funding. Some will stop having council paid children, some will insist the family "top up" the fees, some will charge more to those paying for themselves.
And many are walking into this with their eyes closed to what the government is doing. "Small Government" ... do you think taxes will come down for the average person because of this?
