I can reckon one can get a better education in private schools, providing the parents have money for that. I liked public school. A big dude knocked my glasses off, so I knocked a couple of his teeth. Dad had to pay the guys teeth. He never punished me for that.
Actually, in the UK anyway, numerous studies have indicated that when adjusted for income disparities between private and state school students (i.e. you're essentially removing the advantage of being able to afford private tuition outside of school hours), state school students do better. And this trend continues into university.
Of course what's the current UK government's response to this. Why yes, it is to dismantle the state schooling system and hand it over to chain companies who will look to maximise profits (i.e. minimise the spend on education while creaming the difference between the spend and what they're given as "profit").
