i always have a problem when opportunities are reduced in the the name of mediocrity. It reduces the standards that people can achieve. I don't like the elitism associated with private schools, but then, it does produce some very well educated people that are by definition elite.

I think the class aspect of private schools has to be removed, along with the implied entitlement associated with them .... those to me are the main things that need to be addressed.

I have a far wider issue though, advancement in the workplace is still not driven by merit. After all these years of pushing equality, merit based systems still do not prevail and I think that is the biggest issue of them all.
