<p>Just to clarify, yes I was comparing the expensive private schools (the ones many consider to be the ‘elite’ schools) with what are now also top schools (often public schools). With this comparison it’s not uncommon for one to cost several times more than the other. </p>
<p>My argument was that (although it didn’t used to be the case) today there are many situations where you could pay a quarter the amount but still get an education that was just as good… this is the situation facing some of these ‘old school elite’ schools.</p>
