Anyway, Soweto told us what the non-white
schools were like ...

Well Rob the consensus, among those who are informed about
such matters, is that they are on the whole considerably
worse today. Who would have believed it, huh?

I wonder if this is a universal truth? Educational entropy.
I really think this is more the meat of the debate, not so
much whether middle class people, who can afford it, should
take their kids out of school, but rather WHY the system is
on a downward path everywhere. You're right it is an
economic explanation. Education for young gentlemen was
worth spending a bit one - it was an investment in the
future for the ruling class. Investment by the state in mass
education though is something quite different - it surely is
an attempt, as always, to get a docile labour force at the
cheapest possible price.
