It gives an unfair advantage to people who usually already are lucky enough to not be born into poverty. I dont get why one persons education should be more important than anothers.

And I don't want them learning that they should learn for the sake of exams, I want them to learn to love learning for it's own sake. I don't want them learning religion outside of it's place in history and politics. No public schools offer the education I want my children to have so I would either have to home educate or send them to a private Montessori. So we're doing the latter.
