WHY do the likes of doctors, and other supposedly posh and snobby well-off people, send their kids to private schools?

Surely the standard of education should be the same at all schools regardless of whether they are private or not.

Or could it be that the likes of doctors etc. don't want their kids mixing with Joe Public's kids?

The critics-in-waiting will no doubt rubbish this suggestion, but I ask the question: why do we have private schools in the first place?

Eton and Harrow eat your hearts out.
