This is depressing that equality is so deeply engrained in Britain that this woman is attacked for doing what is best for her learning disabled son. The worse aspect of this is that even she is unwilling to entertain the possibility that argument over quality applies to other types of schooling as well.
Ex-Education Secretary Ruth Kelly has defended her decision to send her son, who has "substantial learning difficulties", to a private school.
She said she removed her son from a state school after professional advice recommended he be placed in a school "able to meet his particular needs".
Ms Kelly said the local authority accepted the advice, but she had not asked for any help in meeting the cost.
She said: "I, like any mother, want to do the right thing for my son."
"I appreciate that some will disagree with my decision. I understand why, but we all face difficult choices as parents." . . . . .
