She at first failed to answer, but when pressed, she conceded they go to private school. In Britain, class politics makes public officials and private schools a perennial and famous source of controversy.

My impression was that most Canadians who covet private education for their children do so as an aspiration, rather than as a grievance. And I see no good reason to believe private education makes premiers or education ministers unable to preside over public education.
