    Agree.

    But why should some kids go to elite schools just based on who their parents are?

    In the UK private and public schools are both fee-paying schools, while state funded schools are usually referred to as comprehensives.

        I’m far from an expert but I believe private schools can basically teach as they see fit, don’t have to follow the curriculum etc, while public schools follow the state guidelines still while being fee-paying.

        Private school to pay for education.

        Public school you pay for connections (education good also) see Eton.
