I'm sorry but I disagree, you are still paying for an advantage. It's just a matter of scale from paying for travel to a better school, through tutors and private schools.
I don't see how music lessons or sports clubs or swimming lessons are any part of this discussion, surely thats just a social thing?
I agree you should be paying for any advantage and it should come with full tax implications.

Depends doesn't it?
When I looked a while back the selective secondary schools had extra weighting for music, and to a lesser extent sports.

Yes, my point is that I don't have sympathy for people crying about a tax break that allowed them to benefit from and add to an unfair system.
I used tutors and music lessons as an example of things that having money will afford the privilege of getting for your kids but again I wouldn't be expecting a subsidy from the government to pay for them.

This is in no way analogous to me saying I have zero sympathy for people trying to pay for an advantage. I don't think private schools should exist but they do and everyone will try in ways they can to improve their children's lives but if you have the financial means to pay for private schools, private tutors, music classes etc then by all means do it but you shouldn't get a tax break in order help pay for it
