Good idea, you'd probably just use it to justify your appalling bigotry anyway.

I'm guessing coherent arguing is not your strong suit?
I'm not the one suggesting that degree holders are all upper middle class.

There's got to be some hint of irony in there?
In my experience, people studying worthwhile degrees come from all sorts of backgrounds...

"Look at me, I'm Woodside
I'm so ghetto. Considerably more working class than you- I can't even afford the calendar to see that it's the 21st century and not the 19th."

Nowadays, people of ANY background can and do go to uni. Middle class, working class, upper class, whatever. A couple of guys on my course were from a family (which I guess defines your class before you settle into one yourself later in life) who'd spent their entire lives on benefits- so not even working class.
Some people go because they're interested in a subject, some people go to get a qualification, some people go because they have no idea what else to do and want a few more cheap, easy years before making a big decision.

But yeah, before you can teach you should have at least a degree in the subject. That way you can teach it properly and be fairly confident that you know what you're talking about- and parents can be sure of this as well.
