Billabong, I wasn't aware that I was being patronizing. Clearly I have hit a nerve.
You are wrong, though, when you say you have the same entitlement to every service because you have paid taxes. You are only entitled on the basis of need, not the basis of what you have paid. I thought my examples were quite straight forward.
I worked as a learning support assistant providing some 1 to 1 support for a child with a language and communication disorder. He was entitled to this because he had a learning difficulty and needed that support to cope with a mainstream school setting. Not every child is entitled to 20 hours of individual learning support, however much their parents have paid in taxes. yes, they would all benefit from it, but not all of them need it.
Does this make sense?
