Purposeful Ramblings Through My Mind

I don't see any point in fees. We already pay fees: they are called taxes, and it is the essence of public education that even if you don't use a service (e.g. if you have no kids), you pay for it because of the larger benefit to the community. If these are things everyone has to have as part of a basic education, then fees serve no purpose. Why set up an entire extra level of accounting for all these separate fees? If they are things that only some students have (e.g. lunch supervision) then either it is worth funding publicly without fees, or it is not worth having at all.
