So you favour " elitism " ?
I'd really like to understand your thinking here, could you please expound on your question and explain it so I can offer a response.
It's simple really.
Private school's would have to be paid for by a means of fee's for the children to attend. That would disqualify gifted children from attending these schools if the parents could bot afford the cost.
We have had the same argument here in The UK for as long as i can remember. You don't see many children here from poor families going to Eton or Harrow school, unless they are lucky to get a grant. Which is very rare.
Eton and Harrow and all other private schools are where all " the top people " have attended. i.e eitism.

Comparing a hobby to a childs education is hardly the same thing.
Education of a child and how he performs sets out the path of his possible future life. Having poor parents not able to afford the childs education is a disadvantage for that child from the onset.
If think in this case we can agree to disagree.
