When did education become a luxury?

University funding is a whole different subject Pacifico and a very large one.  I suggest we don't divert the thread onto that subject. If you wish to discuss that, perhaps a new thread would be better.

Politics is about making choices.  State Resources are always limited. We  have to collectively decide how to spend those resources. In the case of this thread, we have a very simple choice. We can either spend those limited resources by subsidizing establishment kids private school education or we can use those limited resources on funding the education of ordinary children.  

It seems your choice is to prioritise and subsidise generally affluent establishment kids over ordinary kids.   That's cool.
