'I'm fed up of private school parents being demonised - we're not all wealthy snobs'

A mum has split opinion online after she asked people to be kinder to parents who choose to send their children to privately funded schools instead of state ones - as she insisted they are often unfairly "demonised".

The mum said she's "fed up" with seeing private school parents "bashed" for buying their children a "better education", and claimed that not all those who send their kids to private school are "mega-wealthy".

She also said that she and her husband were both raised in working-class environments and have "worked bloody hard" to afford a private education for their children, and doesn't believe she should be criticised for it - despite admitting that private schools are a "major cause of inequality".
