• The main things I gained from a private education are:

    • A whole lot of bullying
    • A life long love of sport
    • Learning to be confident and take risks in situations where in reality I'm out of my depth. You could call it professional arrogance or confident risk taking, either way, its something that private school taught me....how to blag.
  • Not judging

    Bully or bullied? Kids will go along with bullies so not to be bullied themselves.

    I learnt this at Pimlico Comprehensive School...

  • I have friends who went to private school who are very much this. #noteveryprivateschool though I suppose but I often feel that private school pupils are seen as more able when it's actually just this. See pretty much the entire current cabinet as a case study.

    Could that simply be because wealth (that of parents or peers) allowed it?

    It's a lot harder to take risks when you're working a couple of shitty jobs and if you lose one, your kids go hungry.
