Any history teachers out there?

[anteater]

Have a meeting tommorow night and my position is based on a history lesson from 25 years ago, and I can not find my old books...

Need a reference re the repealed tax laws (~1750ish) that used the revenue from a specific tax for a specific task, ie a tax on say bread would be used to pay for, say, new warships.. Obviously a stupid idea..!?
Did I remember this or make it up??
What was the law called?

so in uk in 1850 there was a tax system that put a tax on one thing to pay for something different

I keep coming back to ship money. Will dig out old OU books.

As I remember Kanga, which is mad, ehh! But its sort of what the school want to do..

what do you mean that is what school want to do???????????

whispers, cos they want to link the fees to teachers pay..

so school fees are going up to give a fair wage to the teachers

Isn't that what happens anyway ????

Dh teaches in private school too

No, the other way round, fees linked to the % rise in pay.. the pays good!

am still confused >

I don't get it

Please explain in simple terms

What has this to do with 1850?

will explain tommorow!

oke doke perhaps my brain will be working by then and not be sooooooooooo dim

Would this get you anywhere?
