In my honest opinion, giving up selective schooling for private schooling is a rather erratic decision. First of all, private schooling does not give a superior education system to selective students. In saying this, it is important to realise that how well a student learns is partially tied to the environment they are in. For example, in an elite selective school, standards are set high, and not by parents, just a subtle expectations from your friends marks. In a private school, no matter how elite, or racially influenced, ultimately has lower student to student expectations. Also tied in with how well a student performs is the quality of teachers. Private schools only promise, as mentioned in the news article - "A well watered oval and ivy coated buildings". However, they do not fundamentally promise a skilled and experience group of teachers, which is essential to learning. Selective schooling has most of this, with a positively pressured learning environment, and relatively good teachers.
Socially speaking, moving from a selective school to a private school is a waste of energy. It would require one to leave behind an already tight knit friendship group (considering that the subject is at least 3 years into Normanhurst), and heading to an unknown environment. Private schooling does not promise the absence of bullying and exclusion. This may be especially prone to happen, since the subject is moving from a selective school, regarded as a group of "nerds" or "dorks". Parents who wish to attain a better social network for their children for the future are misled, since selective schooling produces many future entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors. I could go on an on about what selective schooled people can and have achieved. Stereotyping the rich for this type of success is totally wrong, as there is no promise whatsoever that a rich man's son will not waste the money to bankruptcy. However, in one regard, the stereotype of "rich and dumb" is also misled, as it is overly stereotyping private schooled children. In saying this though, there will be a significantly larger proportion of "dumb" children in private schools, leading to the lower expectations afore mentioned.
Financially, the transfer of the student is a waste of earned money. As mentioned in the first two points, the only advantage of private schooling is higher quality facilities. However, if everyone made a financial dedication to selective and other public schools, the schools would end up with better facilities. However, since the rich stick to their own private schooling system, the class gap between public and private schools is drawn open. Ultimately, this is a type of class division that is not only unhealthy for the majority of people, but impacts on the future of the nation. Economically speaking, future employments may be biased towards private instead of public, because of the stereotypes. In this way, private schooling is also drawing open a gap for future unemployment. This stereotype should not be supported, and should be destroyed if possible.
In conclusion, private schooling is in no ways superior to a selective school, and a transfer would be damaging to all aspects of the students life. Also, parents should strive to increase support of public schooling in order to better it, instead of fuelling the private schools.
