What I don't like about the private education industry is their focus, on middle class kids, and so by cherry picking kids who would have been successful anyway, and without the kids who are troubled, who the system has failed, this approach does nothing to help them. I suppose that's where the other private 'solution' comes into play - private prisons. Education was always supposed to be a way of lifting yourself out by your own bootstraps. Now in our infinite wisdom and our current national philosophy that everything must be turned into a way to make a 'profit', (ie loot the system) even that is being slowly removed.
