More than one person has used the words 'rich parent's or 'rich'.

You do all realise that many very working class parents, slog their guts out and use their salaries to finance such private education to give their children the very best start in life? Many working class parents work incrediby long hard hours to do this: preferring the money to be used to benefit their child's / childrens education and long term prospects - rather than fritter the money on every day materialistic whims demanded by their offsping? (ie; designer clothing, the latest 'must have' gadgets, long haul tropical holiday abroad, parents sacrificing their own wants of bigger and more expensive houses, cars etc: to allow them to use the monies for their children - to give them the very best fundamental start to life.).

It appear some on here are blind to these very facts.
