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
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.

The original comment was about affordability.
Surely if you can afford to send your children private you’re doing well enough to pay a bit more
Anyone who can pay for nursery fees without going into debt can probably also afford private school (albeit not a top secondary public school).
That doesn't mean that by default they can pay a bit more.

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.
