A UK dad, Steve Hardicre, is calling out the government after his kids school, Poynton High School, asked for parent donations. The school, part of a multi-academy trust, is facing financial strain due to rising costs and less funding than the national average. Hardicre, with nearly fifty years in education, argues this is a government fail, fearing it could lead to special favors for donors kids. The headteacher defends it as standard communication, while the government points to a needs-based funding formula. This situation raises questions about the future of education funding and the increasing reliance on parent donations.
