A fool and his money.....

Wasn't that what Tesco claimed too? Didn't last long.

Oh come on, we both know you're exaggerating there 😜

Bit random. How do you know people in Douglas consume more power than you?

Why? Genuine question.

Are KWC?

There is no contradiction, you need to learn how to read. Why do you flounce off every time anyone asks you a difficult question?

You need to learn how to read.

Are you going to answer my question? Or just flounce off again?

The figures used are an average of all school pupils, not just primary. As I have said three times now, if you would like to improve on the figure, feel free. I do wonder why the sudden interest in accuracy though, given you were plucking a figure upwards of £5million from thin air a few short posts ago. In any case, it makes no difference to anything because it's entirely hypothetical. Perhaps get back to discussing government handouts for education, or essential investment for the good of the island as you interchangeably like to call them depending on the income bracket to which they apply.

Not at all. It's a best estimate with the data available. Given the context, completely adequate. As I have said, if you'd like to improve on it, knock yourself out.

I understand that what I was answering was a completely hypothetical question that has no relevance to the subject being discussed and is of little or no consequence to anyone but you. Given this context the answer is more than accurate enough. If you'd like to improve on it, knock yourself out. Although perhaps you'd be better employed answering the question you repeatedly swerved last night as to why you consider student loans for low income families a government handout for lazy recipients, yet consider the KWC loan to be in the island's best interests?

Well I think we've already established that nobody has your understanding of these things, but I'll have a go. That's the current (last year's) spend per pupil, it's the best figures we have. It includes several schools (admittedly not secondary schools) with 300 and less on the roll - although it's an average, so costs are likely to be higher for these smaller schools. Obviously the addition of another smaller school would tend to make the average higher, although 300 pupils amongst the several thousand existing school pupils is not particularly significant so probably wouldn't make too much difference. It's a rough calculation based on the best data we have, but in the context of a purely hypothetical situation which is of little consequence to anyone, it will do.

The truth is that the number of extra pupils in the state system if KWC went would barely be noticed. School rolls have been falling for quite a few years and the reduction is projected to speed up in the future. The cost of integrating a couple of hundred extra pupils into state schools really is a non consideration and certainly doesn't justify this shameful government handout.

Why guess? An independent report in June of last year says it would be £1,691,700. Or in other words, that was one of your more accurate posts.
