Should we ban private schools? with Fiona Millar

[@squizza28]

No. Plain and simple. They save taxpayers a fortune. And now they have to pay VAT on top.

So we should do the same with supermarkets and clothing stores too. What about just one car for everyone and one newspaper while we are at it. Oh and political parties, we don’t need more than one of those do we? Everyone marching in step to a happy new world. Great!

You don't see a problem with the 7% privately educated people dominating lots of fields, media, law, politics

[@squizza28]

The reality is they dominate in successful careers because they're taught well. They get better tuition in smaller classes, and developed into great people. Yes that costs money, but they save the taxpayer by not being taught at public expense. And if their parents have the money why shouldn't they be allowed to spend it in their children's best interests? At least they don't have to suffer left wing indoctrination like state school pupils do.
