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.

But thats probably the minority of people not the majority. The majority of those at private schools are those that are used to having an easy life where money is no issue. They're probably used to having everything at their beck and call not to mention being spoiled rotten.

Futhermore, their private education and their parent's wealth will probably allow the kid to access a high paying job easily and with little effort, getting the kid into the top class of society easily. It just goes on and on. Nearly all the top politicians had private schooling for example - David Cameron went to Eton for Christ sake.

I just think its wrong to willingly allow those with the cash to give their children an educational advantage whilst others are unable to gain the same thing. Its wrong and unfair and (like I said before) encourages a class based society.
