I didn't mean it in that sense.
I was getting at the problems private school causes within our society, as MTVN has already stated, privately educated children are more likely to get the best Jobs in society and earn far far far more than state educated children, all because their parents paid for them. How is it fair that parents can buy their kids access into the top of society? It just reinforces that old class system we have in this country where the less well-off stay at the bottom, and the rich remain at the top.
A holiday is nothing in comparison to this. Is a holiday going to get you/your kids a top job? Is it going to get you privileges that you didn't have before because it was expensive? No. But in my opinion, that's what private education does and it's quite awful.
