Not everyone who goes to public school is an idiot, Ian, and not everyone at a state school is a thwarted genius. Rather than tear down something that is good - the education provided by private schools - why not concentrate on making something it’s equal - the education provided by the state (although there’s many a state school which already achieves that).

Anyway, the idea of “equal opportunity” might be a fine ideal, but it’s impossible to achieve for very many reasons of which not being able to go to a public school is but one and probably far less important than having good teachers.
