I went to three private schools, primary school then gcse years then college years. First was alright, second was generic rugby, lads, bully etc. third was really good. I think I'd be a bricky or something now if I didn't have someone being paid to push me for better grades because I sure as fuck wasn't getting that at home.
I agree in principle that private schools should be abolished and the money should go to all the state schools instead but also I severely mistrust the govt to actually give the money to the schools. I think I ended up in them more due to availability than any sense of snobbery, we moved from one end of the country to the other and it was a real struggle to find schools for my sister and I. Obv we could afford it which was nice but we weren't rich, the money came from my grand parents.
I know there's no way I will be able to afford it but I would 100% send my kid(s) to private school if I could mainly for the better access to sports and facilities.
edit - just to add, I think church schools should be abolished before generic private schools.
