What's going to happen to state education?

Just received an email from my child primary school about budget cuts and asking to make posters and put them in social media on Thursday. Is this really going to help? Last year we had some protest and went on tv; I guess politicians just ignore them.

Is state education likely to disappear in the UK in the future? It is very sad, teachers haven't had increases for awhile, etc, etc. What's going to happen to our children future? The gap between rich and poor will get bigger and bigger; Is this country going backwards? Education and health are the most important things for a country future in my opinion.

I have 2 friends state school teachers and their kids are going private for secondary school; my conclusion is that they know the challlengest state schools face better than anyone; they did however got involved massively in trying to make their children state primaries better and helping with findings.

What's going to happen with this country?

We're already being asked to make financial contributions to my kids' state school. So IMHO, it's already not completely state-funded. It's only a small amount but is clearly the thin end of the wedge.

I think we'll end up with a two-tier system where in more affluent areas you'll get schools with better funding and facilities that parents are expected to pay for, and in other (less affluent) areas, you'll have schools run on four-day-weeks and that kind of thing just so they can afford to have enough teachers in on school days to run the school safely.

The whole thing makes me very sad.
