Its not logically economic.

Do the maths, a new school would be peanuts in the face of this scenario, so we can only assume that either Pricey was wrong, her web site is fudging or the other 44 kids are taking second best. You decide.

The 1,000 was an example that KP gave about her own transport costs, this is not what it is costing Harvey, when they say "a driver" they mean a local mini cab firm, and when they say a nurse, they mean an escort trained in administering either epi pen or injections who will be a normal wage, it will cost no where near 1,000 a day and obviously it is far less than building and staffing a local school so obviously it is the cheapest option for the Local Education Authority.
