But boarding schools are no better for your child than a normal comp, so the decision to send your kid off is purely a selfish one on the part of the parents.

If I had a kid, there's no way I'd send it to a fucking comprehensive.
Talk about your lowest common denominator schooling.

And yet I came out with all A's through GCSE and A level and a first class degree.
It's amazing how bad these schools are.

Yes, because a sample size of one out of many hundreds is representative.
Was one of your As in statistics?

Actually you are far more likely to get a better education if your parents are wealthy, regardless of where you go to school
That's what the statistics show.

That's probably because children of wealthy families are more likely to be intellectually stimulated at a young age
and not just left to rot in front of the television.
Statistically, children from lower income families don't have books in the house, or do extracurricular activities, or spend time talking as a family.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Wed 11 Dec 2013, 10:37, Reply)

Yep, that's probably about right.
Plus the parents are more likely to take an interest in their childs schooling and will often push them.

Well this is a stupid post
If you live in the catchment for shit schools then your kid is screwed, the private system allows you to choose a good school.

Maybe you shouldn't wade in discussions weighed down with your hand ringing prejudices until you have thought things through.
