The tyrant school administrators want this. they keep going to the campus and goofing off in the air conditioning while the teachers, students and parent have their life turned upside down.
The headline is correct. They want tuition, tuition fees, that is.
When my brother and suster had chicken pox, they stayed and home on a 2 week vacation. When it was my turn, my mother forced feverish me to go to school. I wanted my vacation and i was feeling awful. I went to school and told the kids I had chicken pox. They told a horrified religion teacher who sent me home after the break. I got my vacation. LOL. I hope the shingles never appear.
> but according to Mr Halkitis it is only “a matter of cents”.
Those who ear 6 figure salaries do not really care about cents. Every thing is relative.
A tin of evaporated milk was sold for 1.09 three weeks ago. Now going for 1.39. Cents, yes but percentage wise the increase was 28%. The more expensive brand yester day was costing 1.89.
1 gallon mazola corn oil was 13.95 without vat last December. Now it is 19.74 vat inclusive. Much more than cents but perccentage wise it was 42%. And now it will cost even more as the international price recently went up.
The greates shortcoming of humanity is its inability to understand percentages.

not really, because they get all the vat they pay back.
it is I, I pay all that vat.
All I want to know is why potato chip is duty free and the duty on egg and chicken is 30 or 40%.
I say drop the dam duty on chicken and eggs. Will reduce much more than vat exemption.
