In actual fact, because their boarding they get away with murder. Private school breeds the wrong qualities if we want a fair and even society, thats my oponion.

Absolutely correct! I think many people in private schools see themsleves as special compared to those of us in public schools and that they should not mix with the "proletariat". Of course this breeds a bad and often patronising attitude.
We have many very good public schoold with great teachers. I say that the Department should stop funding private schools as it gives them an unfair advantage over public schools...why? Well because the private school has money not just from the government as a public school does, but from the rich parents who pay fee's which is something public schools do not get really.

Absolute and unadulterated tripe. They pay the teachers, they do not pay for upkeep of the grounds and amenities, light/heat, expansion of the school, scholarships etc...

The problem is not with private or public schools, it's with people who use words like "proletariat" to make themselves look clever.

I'm sorry, what "funding" would this be?

Lads in all fairness, you can talk about funding and all that for as long as you like but the thruth is, what's with these exclusive schools sending rich prats in pink t-shirts out to the world?

If pink t-shirts are the biggest icon of social inequality you see, consider yourself to have a sheltered existence. And for the record, the whole "chav" scene has embraced pink along with burberry so your argument - as useless as it was to begin with - has fallen apart.

As for the rich prats comment? That's just as incorrect as me saying "what's with these public schools sending poor scumbags...out to the world". It's simply not true

Sorry, maybe I should've made it a bit clearer. It was in response to this comment

They don't "fund" them i.e. pay for light/heating/maintanence and administration costs. If they didn't pay the teachers in private schools then it would result in the private schools offering higher fees to teachers than the public schools - resulting in a brain drain as the best quality teachers are lured from the public school sector by higher wages - and the fees for most private schools like some the Jesuit and Holy Ghost schools wouldn't begin to cover the cost of running the school. Do you have any idea of how much it costs to heat a school of 400 students for one day in the winter?
