If you are anti private school are you also anti tutoring?

[WWGD]

Putting aside the obvious - that a tutor is about £2k a year and private school about £25k a year…

My kids are state educated. Many of our friends are surprised by this as they go private, but our objection is political as much as financial. We just don’t believe it is right to buy that level of privilege and opportunity. We’d also rather spend that money on holidays etc.

dd has asked for a tutor in subjects she is struggling with. I have arranged this. But this too is buying privilege and opportunity. Though not the networking and prestige.

I am comfortable with my decisions. I am just wondering whether people who are anti private school for political reasons also think tutoring is beyond the pale?

I was going to put this in aibu but actually am interested in people’s views rather than being flamed.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that the parents who pay for private school also pay for tutors.

Our non selective state school covers the whole county which is very varied - from 8 bedroomed detached homes with sea views, swimming pools and tennis courts, to areas of deprivation. There is no need to buy your way into the catchment as there is housing available to suit all budgets. There are also no private schools (aside from one primary school in London) that are Welsh medium, so the schools caters for all who value that, lading to a very varied community. I definitely value that and have never paid for a tutor.

It's surprising how many children's parents do afford some tutoring. It was satisfying, and it sometimes exposed sloppy teaching in both independent and state sectors.
(But not quite sure what logic doesn't logic means!?)
