Not sure what British schools do has to do with it?

Private schools aren't a business, they are not for profit organisations.

'if we didn't have funding for private education, public school could be adequately funded'
What utter nonsense. Private schools receive less funding than public schools.
If you closed down private schools, students would have to move to public schools bringing with them less funding than the students already there.
Not to mention the cost of building more public schools.
Even if you simply cut all funding to private schools there would be a massive influx from Private to Public schools with the same result.

@Tarvold; that's yet another post full of factual errors.

Btw; in the UK any school receiving public funds is subject to rigorous 'OFSTED' inspections - their performance ranked nationwide against common KPIs.

Only about 5% of UK schools identify as 'private' and escape OFSTED inspection - the wealthiest, most privileged and most incestuous.

Not so in Australia where one third of our kids attend unaccountable 'private schools' subsidized by governments but excluded from rigours and publicly revealed performance assessments.
