| Message | Apart from the fact that it entrenches class division, deprives privately educated children of arguably the most important aspect of education - experience of the society that exists outside of the bourgeois bubble (where they will later have to live and work), and that is morally unjustifiable to offer two equally capable children two very different educations, then yeah... no reason to ban private education. |

| Message | Private education doesn't necessarily mean being educated at home. Never hear of private schools? So yeah, some people have more money than others. Shouldn't we allow them to spend it to better their lives or the lives of their children? They worked for their money didn't they? |
