Like everything else in life, if you can afford the best for yourself and your family, why wouldn't you?
Now, everyone's definition of "best" is different, which is why we have choice. So, if your choice of best is private school, boarding school or public school, then go for it! When he/she has done their A Levels, I'm sure you won't hesitate to try to get into the "best" university, so why wait until it might be too late?
Life is hard enoug without feeling guilty about making what you think is the best decision for your family. We get one chance in life to have a positive effect on the world around us. Use it to the full.
No brainer. You want it. You can afford it. That is exactly what money is for. It doesn't harm anyone else. Do it and don't worry a jot about the low self esteem (or ridiculously inflated self esteem?!) of the naysayers....most of whom would not hesitate to do what was best for themselves given any choice in the matter!
Good luck to you and yours.
