There’s plenty of childless people that pay for school places that they don’t use as well as private dental and health patients that also pay twice using your methodology. Don't feel hard done by, just consider yourself fortunate enough to be able to 'pay twice'. There’s plenty of others that would like to be able to do the same.
I wish I paid £1m in tax every year.
I absolutely do not feel hard done by, quite the opposite. I only make the point because i think people forget that school fees are paid out of taxed income.There’s plenty of childless people that pay for school places that they don’t use as well as private dental and health patients that also pay twice using your methodology.

My wife and i work hard and make significant personal sacrifices to be able to afford to send our son to the school he goes to. We were only able to have one child, so chose to spend the extra to give him the best possible start in life in areas that count rather than spoil him.
How do the tax breaks subsidise the school? Genuine question, not looking for an argument.But the tax breaks for private education which subsidise those school fees equal or even outweigh the contribution you pay in your taxes towards education.
Unless of course you are rich enough not to notice, but if you're very rich you can 'avoid' taxes anyway
My son's school is a charitable trust, not privately owned. Any profit they make is immediately reinvested back into the school so no tax would be due anyway.
I only wish i was rich enough to avoid tax.

Also there are quite a few ways to pay fees not out of taxed income.

No, I’m all for it. Places taken in private schools, dentists, healthcare etc free up places for others in the state sector.

Totally agree i wish I could do the same for my children. But alot of people work very hard.
Lots of Mums & Dads struggle to give their kids the basics. Now more than any other time is the time not to have a moan because people are really going through tough shiť.
Who carries out the private healthcare etc? What would they be doing if there were no private healthcare etc?No, I’m all for it. Places taken in private schools, dentists, healthcare etc free up places for others in the state sector.
It is just a way of queue-jumping.
Not always. When I had a hernia op a few years ago, the NHS sent me to a private hospital. No spaces in the NHS ones.
So, had the private hospital been full of private patients, you would have been buggered.
