Yeh horror story was probably too strong a word. I need to try it.

Schooling is a tricky one for the free market, and it ultimately gets a bit morally dubious. I guess you are trying to sell the benefit of a highly-educated country to those who choose private schooling, and getting them to pay for this. It
