It’s ridiculous to imagine having to pay 50k a year every year before university and think that is a normal way of life.
One might as well put that money in a savings account, move to a country with better public education, then give that money to the kid when they get their first job.
I also think it's ridiculously expensive as well but it's not uncommon for several siblings from the same parents to attend the same public school and the fee alone can be USD200K for a family.
For my mathematics class, about half of my classmates were non-UK citizens. It seems that people are not emigrating away from the UK but they actually immigrating into UK because of the public schools. According to article this type of elite expensive education is only for less than 5% of the population that can afford to pay. Their top public school (Eton College) is virtually impossible to join even if you have tons of money and the prestiges (foreign royalty family).
