I think a lot of people (especially on the left) read too much in to the elitism. Again they are throwing Ad Homs towards an are they don't understand. Yes there are few schools which hold values that belong back in the Victorian era but with most the emphasis is on education.
Some state schools are bloody awful where bullying is rife with poor teaching. Emphasis is on keeping order rather than education. If parents who have the money want to give their kids a better environment then fair dos. Other parents choose to go on flash holidays, buy the latest gadgets and what not.
Do people on the left share the same opinion about people who drive brand new Mercs or Audis on the the road? Or about people who get to travel around the world on expensive holidays?
I don't begrudge either types of schools, I just don't slate parents who send kids for private education.
