   There is a substantial cohort of parents that are willing to   
   endure relative financial hardship to enable their kids into   
   independent schools. There is also a substantial cohort who   
   would love to afford it.   
      
   There are few parents who choose to move their kids from independent to   
   state while they can afford it. That is some kind of evidence. Make of   
   it what you will.

   Many parents agree.   
      
   The government also agrees and thus wants to eliminate the sector.
