That is the media's perception not pure fact.

Plus people act as if certain parents have been handed this money. They haven't, they have worked hard so that their children get to go to a better school. The whole world revolves around choices and removing ones choice because the less affluent people complain is just ridiculous.

If all children were sent to equal schools there would just be more bullying ect. Because the parents do not have to pay for school fees so instead their children get materialistic wealth to make others feel more uncomfortable with.

Plus if everyone was forced upon the same standard of education then some parents would be technically paying more for the same standard of school as someone who doesn't have to pay income tax because they don't have a job. This is far more unfair that different prices come to different people based on how hard they work.

That's unfair. Most families with hard working jobs can never afford to send their sprogs to private schools but only afford to put bread on the table.

I never spend my money on stupid stuff but if I have sprogs in the future I wouldn't be able to send them to private school because I don't earn enough.

I think most people would rather have a high paid job and pay high tax rather than be on the dole. I know I would!

Yes I do totally understand that. And that is why I do believe that free education is all well and good. However if people can get better I think they should be able too.
