You appear to be assuming that I am 'so indignant'. Please check back: you quoted my previous comment and replied. I responded to that.

therefore you were indeed responding to my comments, otherwise you would not have quoted my post.

My post that you quoted:

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.

Your post - in reply - which quoted my post above

Well it'd be interesting to see some facts regarding the demographic of private schools but I'm fairly certain that those working class children who do go to private schools are very much in a tiny minority. Especially considering fees are constantly rising, I think it costs over £10,000 a year on average for private schools, you're mad if you think that most working class families could afford that though making a couple of small, materialistic sacrifices
