Letter: Get out and fight for better education: that's the best thing you can do for your children
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

YOUR Inside Story on fee-paying schools was certainly thought- provoking but does it represent the thoughts of your readers? Can it really be clear thinking to believe that paying for education justifies "doing the best for the child"?
I don't think so and I'm no modern socialist nor even particularly liberal in my views. I work as a finance director for a public company and my children all go to state schools. They get an education in the widest sense, and preparation for the real world. They mix with both genders, have friends from many different backgrounds and they cope with large class sizes and restricted resources.
I strongly believe that more funding for state education is vital but that, while politicians send their children elsewhere, this is unlikely to occur.
