Infuriating. In this form, private education is an absolute cancer.

Our society doesn't cater to them. They decided that public schools weren't good enough so they went and made their own. I completely agree with them, public schools do suck.

Our society entirely caters to the wealthy, that isn’t even up for debate.

And right, by them fucking off and using their wealth to create a counter-system they take away from the public system, and because the people with money (and actual influence) don’t use it, we don’t have the drive to fund it properly leading to it being shit.

Instead of wanting to leave the public system, you should be wanting the public system to be better.
