This may come as a shock, Dylan, so brace yourself – the vast majority of parents who can’t afford to pay fees actually give a shit about their children. It’s not the financial capacity to spend money that characterises giving a shit about education but the willingness to invest interest and time and energy in children. The situation you cite in relation to yourself undermines your own argument (let’s – for the crack – assume you’re not trolling or wasting our time). In this instance you’re the one investing time and energy and interest in yourself.
‘do better’ by the way is a loaded term. Do better in what sense, access to university? There are non-fee charging schools which do equally as well.
