The only person to suggest that private schooling was socialist was you, Humpty. FYI, wealth distribution and socialism are not the same thing. A case could be made that parents should receive an annual voucher for each child of school age that they are free to present to the school of their choice, whether state or private, and the school could then receive a flat fee from the state for that child. That would mean that all children receive the same amount of state funding for their schooling. Parents would then be at liberty to pay additional fees if they chose to use private schools or tutors. Socialists, as embodied by the Labour Party, would of course not hear of such a fair scheme because of their innate spite towards private education.
