Peter Brassington (A lesson on schools, June 30) sends his kids to a private school and doesn’t want to hear from those of us opposing the Governments current plan. He would do well to think on this quote from a non-government school website: “If a fee account remains unpaid after the third week of term the school reserves the right to ask a family to make arrangements for their children’s education elsewhere”. Elsewhere? Can he imagine circumstances whereby he could no longer afford to send his kids to a private school? If he can, can he then imagine how grateful he would be that some of us have stood up and defended the public system?
