The problem with private schools is that they, at least in the country I live in, seem to run havoc and actually collect more public funding than public schools do (which I find perverse, really).
I’m really torn about this. I could imagine a case for private schools, but just the example I see in this anglo country I’m in makes me really cautious about them.
It’s a good question.
My short answer: No, there should always be a choice, but public schools should be better funded and private schools should be properly audited.

I wouldn’t say they collect more public funding than public schools here, but they do collect quite a bit. It is really sad this is the case :/
