Quoting "Russell Coker" <russell@coker.com.au>
I think that private schools do provide a better service than government schools.
As the author says: You pay more for business class on the plane and you get champagne - but all arrive in London at the same time;-) There is a lot of "fuzzy feelings" in education debates. Who cares about facts? I had a quite "basic" public scholl education. I do not feel disadvantaged
I've heard rumors of up-market McDonalds "restaurants" which have table-cloths and other trappings of real restaurants. I'm sure that they are better than regular McDonalds by many criteria (probably including food quality), but they are still McDonalds.
And? Everybody knows that eating too much McDonalds isn't good for you - but every day an upmarket restaurant will not be good either. Maybe McDonald is worse - because you can go there more often without getting broke;-) (Disclaimer: I don't like McDonalds food - I just find McDonalds bashing boring;-) Regards Peter
