> whereas one is apt to be looked down on if they choose to have their children go to a less resourced, private school in the Netherlands. I'm not sure that's true. Private schools are typically well-resourced in the Netherlands. For example, international schools tend to charge about 20k per academic year whereas public schools make do with 8.5k per year. Quality isn't bad in private schools here, it's quite good actually. But so is the public system which has socialised costs. Most parents are quite content with this system.
