If you can go private, should you?
Had an interesting discussion / argument about private education at work last week. A woman whose kids are privately schooled pointed out that parents paying fees saves the state having to pay for them. Fair point, but not the whole argument imo.
Heard similar from people paying to queue jump for elective surgery. Less fair point imo.
The one that's causing me a moral dilemma is way more trivial. The library book i have at the moment has a waiting list so is obviously in demand but my return date keeps extending due to covid provisions. So i'm stopping someone reading a public book i could afford to buy. Makes me wonder if i should even use the library - i've always thought it's use it or lose it.
Who would or does go private or stay council, and what's your thought process?
