Those 'efficient' private schools have about twice the money per pupil as public sector schools. So raising everyone to that level would presumably involve a substantial increase in general taxation payable to the 'parasitic' state.
Mind you, make it a condition of the job that every Government minister had to send their offspring to state schools and it would happen overnight.My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

State schools in good areas tend to do well because the parents in that area know the value of education and will push their kids.
In comparison schools in poorer areas have always performed badlyCoffee's for closersComment
