How would it be fair for the child of a hard working family to be sent to the same school as someone with lazy unemployed parents because they can't be bothered to get a job.

People have the right to have it better. The role of price is to allocate resources to those who can afford it. Otherwise we would be half communist.

That's unfair. Most families with hard working jobs can never afford to send their sprogs to private schools but only afford to put bread on the table.

I never spend my money on stupid stuff but if I have sprogs in the future I wouldn't be able to send them to private school because I don't earn enough.
