I hate how people say things like 'if you are lucky enough to have enough money', I know my parents and other peoples parents work extremely hard to be able to afford things so to judge people that have money in a bad light is ridiculous. It's not like every rich person only has money because they won the lottery and then chooses to go rub it in other people's faces. I come from an upper middle class family but do not AT ALL look down on others who are different in monetary terms, and I work hard for the education my parents pay for.
Also if all people were forced to go to public schools all it would do is separate children more. Parents of richer families would have more disposable income as they would be saving money from not paying for education then would be spent on materialistic items, the 'richer' kids would have more expensive things for Christmas as an example then bullying would occur based on what majority the school held. More middle class students then the working class children would be bullied on a monetary basis and visa versa.

So true. Funnily enough: the ones who appear to be moaning, and being very prejudiced, are the very ones who are actually benefitting from hard working parents such as 'ours', who not only area paying into the public coffers to fund such state schooling, to allow them to study for 'free'....... even though those same parents are not putting any strain on that same State system, by opting to use their hard earned money toward private education.
Strange that eh.....
