When couples disagree about private school and perpetuating inequality

My wife and I are arguing about whether to send our kids to private school because she says the data shows it gives them better opportunities but I think we're just perpetuating the inequality we claim to care about and we can't agree on what's the right thing to do. We have the money but using it this way feels morally complicated and we're stuck.
