'This house believes that private education should be banned'

I'm Proposing this motion for a debate on Thursday.
I completely forgot about it until now, I DO have some basic ideas on a piece of paper somewhere... I just need to find it...

AAAHHH

Meh, easy one.

Private education is a choice made by those who can afford it.

It is not the task of anyone to tell anyone else how people spend their money that is legally theirs when what they are spending it on is legal.

It does not poach talent from public schools, because wealth is not an indication of intelligence.

It does not affect future education because university entrance is determinant on grades, ability, and finance.

It does reduce the strain on the public system by removing a portion of the school age population from the system.

Finally...

Banning something only a minority use is a dangerous precedent when there is no legal reason to do so. It's a democracy and a capitalist one, hence there is nothing wrong with it and if you want to ban it you may as well go on to ban all private facilities and gatherings, including "this house" for starters.

I prefer the debate - "This house proposes there should be two weekends a week"
