    Private and public schools should be banned though.

        Agree.

        But why should some kids go to elite schools just based on who their parents are?

        In the UK private and public schools are both fee-paying schools, while state funded schools are usually referred to as comprehensives.

          Ah thanks! I wasn’t actually aware of that distinction.

            I’m far from an expert but I believe private schools can basically teach as they see fit, don’t have to follow the curriculum etc, while public schools follow the state guidelines still while being fee-paying.

            Private school to pay for education.

            Public school you pay for connections (education good also) see Eton.
