How is this a public school?

Chris Selley's new article is about the system of public schools. He says public schools that has more wealthy kids from parents earn more money than public schools that has more poor kids. We're talking about differences up to $500 and even $1000 per student during a school year. He says banning parents from donating to public schools would help solve the problem, as long as the provincial government would give money to all schools to a level where donations would be unnecessary. Another plan was collecting all donations that came from parents and distributing them evenly.

The most important way  to look at the issue is "The most marginalized 20% of the schools ... raise less than 1/3 of the funds that the least marginalized 20% of schools raise." The top 10 fundraisers brought in $515 per student and got an average 8.75 out of 10 rating. The bottom 10 fundraisers brought in $17 per student, and averaged a 5.3 rating. Or the other way: The top 10 TDSB schools in the Fraser Institute rankings - all ranked 10 or 9.9 - raised an average of $164.45 per student. The bottom 10, with an average rating of 2.3, brought in an average of $58.64. The most any of them raised was $234.86 per student - 73 schools raised more than that. And one of the 10-out-of-10 schools was among the bottom-10 TDSB fundraisers. While no student should be excluded from participating in any school activity or event based on the ability to pay, some activities or events may require some recovery of the cost for participation.

I think that this is not fair at all. It's not fair at all because the fact that students can not attend any events or trips if they did not pay for it is not fair. What if they could't afford the trip because of their family's financial problems or they just couldn't afford it. Then students will be missing on school trips that it is not their fault. So schools that are richer tend to be better and schools that are poorer tend to be worse. Therefore i like the idea of banning parental donations to public schools and pooling all parental donations and distributing them evenly.

I also know that even though students that have raised a decent amount like $160 they were still ranked 10 or 9.9 rating. So i don't think fundraising can interfere on student's knowledge. But however having a richer school means more supplies and better technology. It matters about how smart you are, it doesn't matter about how much you donate for a fundraising, it doesn't change how well you at school, it actually doesn't do anything except helping you're school.
