Telegraph in hypocrisy shocker
The Daily Telegraph's City Comment page (registration required) today lays into the Office of Fair Trading's investigation into private school fees. The Telegraph believes the investigation is unfair because private schools aren't capitalist business, don't have shareholders, can't control their own costs etc. Essentially it is saying 'education is different'.And so it is. But isn't this a curious argument from a newspaper that believes the only way in which State schools will get better is if they are run like businesses, with competition between them over getting the best pupils etc etc?
