It's not even the quality of education
It's the private system (at least in the most expensive ones) constantly reinforcing the idea in the children's minds that they are superior because mater and pater have stumped up a vast amount of money so that their toffee-nosed sprog could rub shoulders with "the right sort of people," who will hopefully help them get a bully job once they've fagged their way through a Bachelor's in Neo-Gothic Basket Weaving at Oxford.

Not that I've a chip on my shoulder or anything...

You don't actually need to be a proper qualified teacher to teach in a private school

This is true, and I am generalising
I should add that I've met plenty of people who went to boarding school and turned out perfectly nice people. Unfortunately I also met plenty of cunts from the same institutions who though a two-tier society was a bally good idea, and what the thundering Jupiter was I doing sullying their university with my povvo state-comp background?

it's nature and nurture
i've just been reading "the help" which is all about the concept that the little white girls loved their black nannies, but somehow grew up into thinking that making them use an outside toilet "because they have different diseases" and other beyond horrendous things was the right way to be.

what do parents say to their kids to make them think like that?!

'the help' is a really shit book, though.
