schools mostly public except for a few private ones?

About those exceptions...

Public money shouldn't be going to private schools.

If you want your kid to be in some elitist private school, you should pay the entire cost. Otherwise the public system is always an option.

Diverting public funds away from the public education system just weakens the public system.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say about some Scandinavian country.

In Finland it is forbidden to have private schools. All education is public. So if some rich family want what's best for their kids, they'll have to invest in the system like everybody else.
