Former Education Secretary Ruth Kelly has enrolled one of her children in a private school, according to reports.
It has been claimed that Ms Kelly, who is now Communities Secretary, is paying £15,000-a-year to take the child out of the state system.
It doesn't seem to be a vote of confidence in the State sector she used to be in charge of - or of the Government's ability to offer the education you'd be pleased to give your own child.

It is a sad reflection on the state of education in the U.K.
