So many people starting threads just to have a dig at people whose children go to private school.

It doesn't impact me either way, non of mine went private. It was never an option.

But I can totally understand people being pissed off about a 20% tax being added to something they pay for.

Not sure why some are so eager to try and getvpeople to shut up about things that are impacting them. Or so gleeful, that it might happen.

State schools where I live are actually very, very good. So I have no sympathy with any parent who thinks that their child is going to suffer from having to go to one.

(SEN provision is obviously a different kettle of fish)

Particularly on the children that are settled in their schools.

Not very kind OP!

How would you feel if you had to love your very settled thriving child from their school?

NB my children were not privately educated. ,

State schools are bad, that’s also tough.

If only there were other educational opportunities for those children.

It’s a shame there isn’t 🤷‍♀️
