Funny, I teach in a public school and I've never heard any such instruction. I guess some things are understood implicitly.

You shouldn't think of it as stealing. The point of taxing you against your parsimonious will is to provide students with the knowledge base to compete with you for your wealth. The point is to inject a little fairness, some degree of meritocracy, into the system. We're not just grabbing your tax cash to throw students a fish or two. We'd like to give him the skills necessary to put a serious dent in your fishing business.
If I might ask, what degree of silver spoon did you inherit that makes you feel entitled to pauperize the masses who start with less?

If the government forces you to pay and forces you to stay, then that is stealing. If you have the choice to leave, it's not stealing. But like I said, if any stealing is going on, the teachers aren't even the ones doing it. It is not contradictory.
Thank you for that.
Right but they work for the government don't they?
Not me. I work for my student's best interests. The government just collects the revenue which pay my salary. Thanks for your contribution. I recently had to put on another investment banker to keep up with all that salary.
