      • Privatisation: improves standards, more parental choice, however: may not reinvest profits and children may be left without schools if they lose money
      • Marketisation policies:
        • Ball - marketisation = myth of parentocracy
        • Social divisions may be widened as more resources are given to higher achievers
        • Schools dumb down work so students do not find it too hard and go somewhere else
        • OFSTED manipulated easily by the gov
    • Private education
      • Keeping children  out of the state system is a sensible way to improve opportunites and as the teacher pay is higher it attarcts better qualified + more experienced teachers
      • People argue there are many issues with non state education
        • Widens the gap between class and educational achievement
        • May not actually do better because of better teachers but because classes are much smaller and so students are given required attention
        • Old boys network cycle
          • Wealthy family, expensive public school education, top uni's, well paid and powerful jobs and positions, marriage to rich/influential people
