I attended private school - and my son attended private school.

I think that education should go back the way it was until a century ago. Those in families with enough wealth to have them educated - or could get a patron - were educated. The rest started to work as soon as they were able.

I think we should return to that. Pay for what you receive. If your family isn't rich enough - and you can't obtain a patron - grab yourself a shovel. Who cares if the people who clean our streets and dig our ditches and pick our vegetables can read and write?
