private schools
are they worth the money or do they turn people into stuck up overprivileged brats?

al q: my friend shagged her new bloke last night for the first time and he asked her to put her dress back on, push it right up to the neck and pull it slightly tightly. should she shag him again?

have you ever been asked to do anything weirder than that (i remember in the "ted bundy" film when he tells his gf to pretend she is a corpse mid-fuck... this should have been her first major clue that All was Not Well...)?

I think they're worth the money, but only if the kid puts the work in

Alt: Nope, I've never done anything quite that odd...

me too
and i look now at my friends from school, and yeah we've got 3 bankers, 1 lawyer, 1 teacher, 1 law lecturer, 1 advertising executive, 2 accountants, 1 doctor - it does help you get on a career track, i think. certainly i would bankrupt myself to put any unfortunate kid i may ever have through private school because i loved it when i was there.

I'd definitely advocate seperate sex schools, I think it's a good idea
If I look back on my friends from high school, only one of them has stuck to what they wanted to do, the rest of us have gone in completely different directions.

Waste of money, unless you want to go to one of the posh unis.

I wish I'd been to a proper uni

£23k a year mine was when I left 11 years ago
Was it worth it...hard to say I've never been to a state school; I had a great time, I have good qualifictaions and a good job. I have also never been stabbed, which is nice.

Whilst I know numerous people who went to private schools and turned out as perfectly nice people
I also know several who went to private schools and turned into insufferable cunts. And it's a very different kind of insufferable cunt from that which comes out of a state school. Personally I object to the idea of being able to "buy privelige" for your kids.

Alt: That's weird.

I don't understand what he asked her to do.
Like, choke herself with her dress?

I think it's perhaps more odd that he asked her to do this the first time they're together.

I disagree with private education
and I dislike the fact that so much of the "career track" you advocate is about who you know and who you went to school with.

I would say the reason for this seems largely to be the kind of people who end up going to private school.

Not a single friend of mine from public school got their job through nepotism

I went to a private school
and can say that in my case it wasn't worth the money, not least because I had a fucking horrific time, but it certainly didn't make me stuck-up or overprivileged.

Hope that helps.

I'm sure there is a disproportionate number
of private school/posh uni people here. I feel like some kind of peasant

I didn't mean to make you feel that way
maybe cleaning out my stables will cheer you up?

yes sire
may I be allowed gruel this week? I've worked awfully hard

*offers gruel*
*tips gruel into pile of horse poo*

That'll teach you to muck out quicker, varlet!

I wouldn't send my kids to private school even if I could afford it.
I once went out with a girl who insisted on calling me daddy when we had sex. Really put me off my stroke I can tell you.

My mum fucking hated boarding school
so I went to comprehensive. I would have been interested in going as both of my uncles enjoyed it.

That guy sounds pretty fucking odd, frankly. I can understand dress-on-pushed-up-to-the-waist. But not the neck. That's a bit dark.

there is a huge difference
between fumbling to get at each other and being so hot and desperate that you don't get the clothes off. that is sexy.

being made to put them back on AFTER sex? not so much.

Oh, I didn't read that bit. That is weird.
I'd ask one of your bigger guy mates to have a word.

I grew up in and around public schools
but attended state schools. One of my life's greatest regrets is turning down Winchester College. Because I didn't fancy school on Saturday mornings and loads of sport on Wednesdays. What a fucking idiot.

I got perfectly decent GCSE grades but had to spend years in the company of grotty oiks. It's given me the ability to blend in with most social situations but other than that it was shit.

I hope to God my daughter can get a scholarship to somewhere decent.

I went to private schools.
And Ted Bundy is my favourite serial killer. Do I win a prize?

Private Schools
I went to one. And I found that most of the students that ended up being twats usually entered AS twats. I of course emerged the same, awesome guy I started as. :)

Just slightly smarter.
