Comment on Not enough teachers, children turned away: Schools 'can't cope' with population boom

We are currently witnessing falling numbers in the primary phase
So there’s no population boom.
Most of this article is talking about a speculative boom that might happen and what that could mean.
Meanwhile all of the current problems are attributed to not enough staff and chronic underfunding.
What an awful shitty article posing as journalism.

Might happen vs predicted to happen.
May seem like a small difference. But its really not. It changes possible to probable.
That said. The prediction is based on no changes. So you know full well this is being jumped on by right-wing media that have other reasons for arguing the change.
IE its about rich not wanting to pay the taxes needed to support the future p opulation. So arguing for anti immigration as a cost saving that won’t effect them.
