Because some people go for free,they get scholarships,i never knew that you could go to private schools for free.so people think you have money,but some people don't
green shirt guy: "people always call me a posh twat" *30 seconds later* green shirt guy: "so yeah I rode horses and joined the wine and cheese society"
@@HitmanKingJay depends on who you are and what you're parents want you to do. If your parent is a political figure or royalty you're not going to a regular school ever for a myriad reasons. Privacy and safety would probably take top priority. And kids in general don't choose their school because their parents choose for them.
John Buffalo I am 97 it’s funny watching humans give them selves “honorary” terms.... “oh my! I’m so special! Chop chop!” Money and going to a private school doesn’t make you or your grandkids any better than the rest. There’s lost of rich people in hell that did not repent and lacked humility. The best thing you can do, is teach humility to your children
@@CoD4evver If you really find someone crying over being called “rich kid” they’re just sensitive. But my family is nowhere near rich and I go to a private school.
I saw their pain in their eyes, now I'm glad I go to a shitty school in Portugal where there are drug dealers, the school is falling apart, the walls look like shit and the computers never work, and the police goes there quite often and 90 porcent of the people smoke weed and cigarettes despite the fact that the majority of people are underage
'private school is not some kind of supremacist scheme.....' Ummm. Oh! I guess that's why they let in anyone no matter how rich your parents are... The lack of self-awareness would be funny if it didn't have real-world effects.
1. If you are a scholarship kid you may not be rich. 2. It is serious oppression + abuse when private schools sell a right wing faith in DISCIPLINE, in shouting at + slave-driving the kids + degrading them with silly rules. Because school, simply school, is wrong for that reason authoritarianschoolingcouk libedorgukslash indexdotphpslasharticlesslash414-high-learning-potential This happened in the 80s at Balfour House, in Wales. It was a short-lived down-market private school in an old stone rectory building, with poorer facilities than the competing state schools as we all gradually realised, no sports fields of its own they had to bus us to another site, and there was nothing posh about the kids there. They pronounced "ears" as "years", and they mocked public school talk (in Britain public school means the poshest type of private) the same as any state kid would.

My thoughts exactly, I'm quite disappointed that this video was made because all the other "people who are x" videos are informative and on people that are actually stigmatised
I think they aren’t oppressed, but they are definitely stereotyped and this series is attempting to break down those stereotypes, so I understand why they did it. It’s just wasn’t entirely necessary.
Hol ok. Kids who go to private school are not all rich and privileged. I go to private school and its very expensive, but I'm not rich. My family is living in an apartment. Yes there are rich kids at my school but not all of us are.
Its Zoe! I also go to private school, and my family is Also not rich. I tried public school for a bit, but i thaught It was boring; The students were rude and i missed liking school. I have Friends from public schools and i feel way more educated than them. Also i am not privilged because i worked wery hard to Get good grades and i PAY for a better school. If you pay more for a better Phone, does that mean that you are privliged?
I go to a private school and I totally agree, this is ridiculous, people need to learn about more important things, not private school people problems. 😂
They are not saying their lives are hard, they are just saying the assumptions about them, and yes I go to private school but only because I have a fully paid scholarship
I'm proud to be in an extreamly educational, caring, student supporting, musical grammar school. People think we are posh but we are just normal. Just because we are above average doesn't mean we are posh. My mum and dad didn't have to pay for my school as everybody who attends the selection test, passes and is in the catchment area is given a scholarship. So please educate yourselves because not everyone pays to win in life. Many people have the brains.
Ex Private school student: Idgaf who calls me posh, going to private school is a genuine privelage and the majority of private school students are posh. At my school navy and armed forces students went free so guess I'd be offended if i was called posh in that scenario but I wasn't, and consider myself incredibly lucky
@@crisk75 Yeah, but normal school in a fancier building (with higher paid teachers and better equipment) is SUPERIOR by definition. I mean, white supremacists usually agree that other people are people. They just think that whites are superior people. Let's be honest, the whole point of a two-tier system is to build-in an advantage for the privately educated. It is literally a supremacist scheme (although in this case it is not a racial supremacy but a financial/educational one).
@@crisk75 I went to a 'normal' school in the UK. It's not my fault I have a decent education and it's not your fault that yours was more expensive and probably in many ways 'better'. Neither is it something we can be proud of. Like they said in the video, we are all privileged - some more than others. I am very 'chill' haha, maybe I came off as being a bit blunt but I'm only saying what I think. I am not blaming anyone, or judging anyone. I am not comparing anyone to a white supremacist, just using that as an example because the person in the video worded it funny. I don't care how much it cost or what grades you got, and I'm not remotely jealous - but it is definitely a kind of supremacist scheme. It is by definition and if were not, then it wouldn't exist at all - would it? :)
davebuchan81, totally agree. The worst part is a lot of them see themselves as better off. Children are growing up entitled, and a lot of them don’t think anything of it. My mum’a a teacher at a public school, and she knows a private school teacher that at the end of the year threw out a years worth of brand new supplies. (Because they could have germs🙄). Meanwhile, in her public school classroom, half the class can’t afford new supplies. And then of course is the perception that because I attend public school, I have not amount to much, and of course I could never become a doctor or a lawyer.😂😂 (hopefully I can come back in ten years and say that I’ve become a pediatric oncologist)
@@erinrose1097 That is a very good ambition :) Remember, even if a lot of them see themselves as better (and even see you as inferior!) there are many who don't think like that. If the school you go to is like mine then there are many who think they are better than the council estate people - there are silly judgmental fools everywhere at every level. Ignore them or use them to fuel your ambition. Don't play their game, and when you see it - don't let it make you angry or sad. Let it make you humble and remember how privileged you are compared to so many. That is how you avoid being entitled yourself. Laughing at them is definitely the best way, especially if you can do it in front of them haha. It's easy to be blind. You will be better, but better because you care - not better because you can afford it! Hopefully there are a good portion of privately educated people who will do the same. Good luck with your studies :)
The show is discussing misconceptions not discussing exclusively privileged people. Its just helping everyone see things from various peoples pov. Comments need to chill, they all seem like good people.
Gg Ff they’re not asking for your sympathy. None of them did at all in the video. The whole point, which loads of people in the comments have been trying to explain, is that they are simply highlighting a few misconceptions of people who went to private schools - not trying to portray themselves as marginalised or anything
'private school is not some kind of supremacist scheme.....' Ummm. Oh! I guess that's why they let in anyone no matter how rich your parents are... The lack of self-awareness would be funny if it didn't have real-world effects.
Get this right, not everyone that goes to private schools are rich, that was not the point of the video, and there are different types of private schools, some may be castles or some may be massive, and some may be posher than others, I go to a private school and I’m on a full bursary so I’m not incredibly rich am I?
Bro I just googled sevenoaks out of curiosity and IT IS A CASTLE. Damn it how do people get so used to huge grounds and rugby pitches that they forget that most schools can’t even afford to send their kids on school trips?? You’re on a full bursary? Good for you. You’re still receiving a first class elitist education that the other 93% of the population not in private school couldn’t hope to recreate. Whether or not you payed for it you ARE PRIVELIGED. That’s not an insult, it’s facts. Stop complaining about it.
Words On Stilettos I’m sure you did work hard. So does everyone else. But most of us don’t get the opportunity to then apply to private school. I personally work very hard and go to a grammar school, but that’s not just down to my hard work, I was also quite privileged and I’m self aware about that. There are so many socioeconomic factors that determine your place in life, especially in this classist country. All I’m saying it that two people can work just as hard as each other but only a few of us are going to have the opportunity to attend a school like sevenoaks no matter what we do. It’s okay that you’ve grown up with privilege. It doesn’t mean that you haven’t faced difficulties or worked hard. It just means that you started off in a better place, and that helped you continue on that path later on. Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
The reason they made this video is to show how not all kids that go to private schools are rich, privileged, and entitled. Some had to work for Scholarships or had donations to help pay for tuition.
Doctor Penguino which one of these people actually talked about getting a scholarship? or said they had a scholarship? Or even didn’t say they rode horses?
S D I go to a private school on a full scholarship. The tuition fees are about 30,000 a year (more if you’re boarding) Just because you have more money and want your child to get a better education, you are not going to burn in hell. Yes, the children are privileged, but I came from a very deprived background myself and just wanted to get a good education
Solo Lola I wouldn’t say that simply going to a private school makes one privileged over all? Like yes, private education could be an aspect of privilege, but it doesn’t mean the child is, for example, more privileged than a kid going to a local comprehensive in a decent area with parents who earn a six figure salary 🤷🏼♀️
'private school is not some kind of supremacist scheme.....' Ummm. Oh! I guess that's why they let in anyone no matter how rich your parents are... The lack of self-awareness would be funny if it didn't have real-world effects.
"Did Mummy and Daddy pay for that?" No, at the age of 5 I was an accountant and I paid all my own bills. Honestly, these kinds of vids have the dumbest questions
@@nicholasjones7312 it's very rare that you get a full bursary or scholarship, mine was very high but my mum still paid for some of my education. I think my school gave 2 full bursary each year but I joined in year 9 when they'd already been given.

" I had a better education and start in life than state schools, my parents had the wealth to help me and someone pointed this out, ooo God help me I'm sooooooooo oppressed, my life is sooooo unfair"
Tom Wilson nobody’s claiming their life is unfair. Nobody is saying that they’re not grateful for what their parents did for them. With private schools come stereotypes that aren’t the case for the majority of privately educated kids and that’s all this video is trying to say. What this video is NOT trying to say is that privately educated kids are victims of society or that they are so hard done by and it’s ridiculous to assume this.
I'm proud to be in an extreamly educational, caring, student supporting, musical grammar school. People think we are posh but we are just normal. Just because we are above the average intelligence doesn't mean we are posh. My mum and dad didn't have to pay for my school (aside lunch and laptop fees) as everybody who attends the selection test, passes and is in the catchment area is given a scholarship. So please educate yourselves because not everyone pays to win in life. Many people have the brains.
I don't think it wanted to show them as oppressed, they kept repeating how priviliged they are! It's just a show that talks about misconceptions, not oppression. And there are misconceptions also about private schools, so i don't see any problem in this episode whatsoever
Yeah I have lots of friends with one or more scholarships and I've also had people treat me differently when they found out I go to a private school. I think the misconception is that we're all stuck up pricks that take it for granted
I can see why you'd get that impression, although there is an episode about people who don't celebrate christmas, one about gamers, one about cosplayers and ones about short and tall people, which are groups that, last I checked, don't necessarily face oppression. So I do think the series, while being fully capable of highlighting oppression, is also alright to produce videos about largely harmless misconceptions
DreamersArmy The only person I heard mention privilege, was the black guy and the person next to him then said that was the same thing as luck. Luck and privilege are NOT the same thing. Luck is a matter of chance and I'm sorry, but if you're in private school you've had very different chances from children who have grown up in impoverished areas. This still applies (although to a lesser extent) to scholarship students. To gain a scholarship you usually need to pass some form of test. Many children from impoverished areas have not had a good primary education and many struggle with unstable home life's, making it less likely they'll pass these tests. Lucky for some kids is getting three meals a day. So to say that's the same thing as privilege is bullshit.
Can we please stop with the whole coconut, bounty and oreo etc.. thing, its so derogatory. I'm not any less black because of where I go to school or how I speak.
its so awful that people do this, people have different life experiences and to shame someone for not acting a certain way or a way expected of them due to their race is ridiculous,
Ona Onye Africans who go to such schools such as the nigerians and ghanians tend not to be called coconuts as they stick to their African heritage but Caribbeans who go to such school loose touch of their Jamaican/Caribbean/African heritage.
it wasn't their decision to go to private school it was their parents, so why yes their parents may be rich or well off, they aren't necessarily. Plus a lot of people in private education aren't rich. Of course they are privileged but not by their own fault they just are and why it is not the most important subject to look into, its wrong to say you cant talk about it because it upsets people who don't agree with what they have versus what others don't. Everyone lives different and everyone is different.
Their parents have to be rich to afford to spend £10,000 plus of their yearly income to send their kids to a better school. So many families wouldn’t be able to eat or live in a home if they did this
aka _drb nope, they don’t, it’s very limited and hard to get. Paying for better education shouldn’t be a thing as it just gives rich people an advantage in life to stay rich through no work or effort of themselves.
@aka _drb thxs for replying and sharing your opinion, Still MOST of the fees, I notice. So their family does still have enough to pay that. Also the minority of people in that situation in private school is so small it doesn't affect my view. Personally I feel that the problem with private schools is you are only surrounded by certain groups of people. I am not denying private schools have diversity, but it's still never going to be as much exposure as you would experience in a public school. You aren't going to meet any other kids in poverty or who aren't financially stable. exposure is important because it gives u a certain understanding of the world and prepares you for life. Also like the people in the video said, there is alot of pressure when you are in a school of high performers, or your place at the school is dependent on your ability. I don't think private schools offer enough benefits to be worth it
@aka _drb That's a good point, private school is personal choice. Some people work better in that environment. Just not everyone has the oppertunity to go to private school. They are exclusive and therefore non diverse.
TBH the people in the comments don’t get the point. They aren’t saying that they are oppressed. The people are just saying that people hate so much for no reason. edit: ok i’m going to try to clarify myself. what i’m trying to say that they aren’t trying to make themselves oppressed. they are saying that they didn’t choose to go to a private school, and that annoying them about it isn’t going to help anyone.
greyballoon / and rightly so! I mean just listen to them and this is coming from someone who went to and still is in private school! I go to private school and this video is just so cringey and forced. We aren’t an oppressed group.
Onari Ojuka sooo it’s okay to hate on someone who went to a better school than you? Jealousy is ugly and unnecessary. Might as well just hate on everyone then cause everybody has at least one thing that’s better than yours.
Winnie lol how can I be jealous of something I already have? I’m in private school and have been in private school all my life so I know how they feel, but I still think this video is very unnecessary because we aren’t an ‘oppressed’ group.
People are entitled to be as angry and envious as they want about an unequal system. It's not jealousy, it's outrage at the fact that some folks have better education and resources not because they deserve it more but because they're already more fortunate.
Poppy Collins not at all. One of the interns thought of it when he was drinking home made coffee and not store bought. But someone assumed it was from a fancy cafe. And he had to remind them. Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he ALWAYS gets fancy coffee. GOSH!!
Why does everybody in the comments have to be a jerk?? I'm pretty sure the point of this video wasn't to make them look oppressed. It's to show how there's stigma around some of the simplest things ever. We need to realize that even in small, insignificant things we somehow feel the need to judge. The point is stop being a jerk to people whether they're privileged or not. Let them be. They're not hurting anyone so why do you have to risk hurting someone's feelings with your rude comments?? :(
It's the fact that just being born into a family who has money automatically gives them the privilege of an education miles ahead of anyone else. Leading to them earning more in the future and then their kids going the same all the money stays at the top. While the rest of us are sat taking cuts to our children's education enforced by a government of people who were all privately educated. Another gripe is that private schools have charity status so no taxes paid on the education.
I'm proud to be in an extreamly educational, caring, student supporting, musical grammar school. People think we are posh but we are just normal. Just because we are above average doesn't mean we are posh. My mum and dad didn't have to pay for my school as everybody who attends the selection test, passes and is in the catchment area is given a scholarship.

Hayden Joseph not sensitive it’s just being called gay... when I am gay, I don’t get the point! So you are telling me that every heterosexual couple that has the ability to reproduce should do it even if they don’t want to or aren’t able? And are you telling me heterosexual couples and people don’t abuse, mistreat, murder and abandon their children? We have millions of children without homes and families we have countries putting a limit on how many children a couple can have, seems to me reproduction is not the shining light of creation and the be all and end all and yes... homosexual couples can reproduce 100%
I was neutral when I watched the video, but once I read the comments, I think some people miss the point. It's not about the oppression, but the stigma and the misconceptions. When I was in first grade, I was quite an outcaste, and I was already bullied for that. Later, a group of "popular" students found out that my family was more privileged than them (If I'm correct, I think it was from the newspaper because our family was big, and we have some successful business people. Actually, before they found out about my family, they bullied me for using cheap, old stuffs.) Then, I was picked on more physically and socially. The slapped me (together 6-7 people), pushed me down the stairs, imputed my mom that she is a prostitute, and many more. I didn't want to make them think I was a spoiled brat, so I kept it all to myself until those people left to a new school.
I don't necessarily want any bad things happening to them. I just don't want them, nor anyone, to do this to anyone. Nobody has the right to bully, and nobody deserves the bully.
All the people in this video seem genuinely lovely, which is making me hate the comments even more. While yes, this is a divergence from BBC 3's normal choice of demographic, the point of these videos is to challenge stereotypes of ALL people.
They seem lovely...when have you ever spoken for any length of time with one of them? BBC3 always get a totally unrepresentative panel whenever they are attempting something like this. Look at the percentage of UK born ethnic minorities that go to private school and tell me this group is representative. Secondly, a single video of this type is cut to demonstrate the point the editor is wanting to relay, so if anyone of them said anything even slightly controversial it would be edited out. Why not have them answer questions about what we think, instead of "things they hear" which is a pile of steaming horse-shit.
Albert Brammer You're right, I don't know these people. That is why I used the indefinite verb 'seem': it was simply, my impression of the people. I'm sorry if your outlook is more pessimistic. Secondly, in this video the ratio of white british to other ethnicities is 5:3. If you look at the 2015 ICS census you will find that 30% of private school pupils are not white British, meaning the people in the video are at least somewhat representative. Finally, I don't think this debate really matters. Clearly you don't like this series; the premise is 'a steaming pile of horse-shit' as you so eloquently put it, and so I am not going to sway your opinion further.
I was really impressed with this series... and then this, this isn't where it should be going. What next, 'what not to say to Bankers?' 'What not to say to white middle class men?' :S
I think it's good to show things from lots of different perspective. There all sat there saying they're privileged and lucky, they're not acting like they're oppressed but that doesn't mean life is really easy for them. Everyone struggles with something and it's interesting to hear what different people have to say about their experiences x
Ok. So here's the thing. Not all kids who go to private school are rich and live in giant mansions. I live in an apartment but I still go to private school. It was just about my mom and dad caring enough to put 1000s of dollars that they've been saving into my education so I can have a better life than they do. And yes rich people do get bullied. I know.
None of the stereotypes are true... if you think we eat like royalty, you’re wrong... we eat like pigs....... if you think we have perfect grammar, you’re wrong... I have plenty of friends who don’t have a clue about spelling or grammar........ you think we use posh words, you’re wrong.... we call each other names all day 😂 and we are hardly different to state schools
Amy C Ino I know people that went private school and they look down on their own family because they went state schools ( also they got helicopter lessons for some reason )
I'm proud to be in an extreamly educational, caring, student supporting, musical grammar school. People think we are posh but we are just normal.

People, this is exactly what the vid is talking about.... I go to private school and let me tell you, IT AINT FUN WHEN PEOPLE ASUME IM A STUCK UP BRAT (I’m only there cause of a scholarship and the school in particular was cheap)
These people kind of reinforce the stereotype I have of people who go to private school. Plus, I though this series was meant to be for aspects of society that are genuinely misunderstood, like disabilities and progressive personal choices?
Private school kids are genuinely misunderstood. Etonian and Harrow students are projected as pompous and full of themselves, but that’s not always the case? Yes, they’re privileged in the sense that yes their parents had money and they were lucky enough to go to private school. I was too. But this isn’t how every private school is. They’re just normal beings, made out to be arrogant based on their parent’s money. It’s an unjust system, especially from the ones who are actively opening charities to try and get working-class individuals into Oxbridge and other top-class universities. They are misunderstood. This series doesn’t have a level of severity in terms of a physical scale on how misunderstood people are compared to others. One isn’t more understood than the other. It’s just a different range.
Actually, it's indirect luck. Those children are lucky enough that their parents are wealthy enough to pay for private education. That is luck. Not everyone that works hard will work hard enough to be guaranteed they can afford to pay for private education at the end of it.
@@beansontoast1759 I agreed totally- why argue back when people are right. I’m private rn and tbh I don’t get why it is a problem - it’s the education nearby and I’m just privileged in that my parents can afford it. Nowt wrong with that
@@elixx1649 Having enough money to go to a private school doesn’t mean you need some sort of disability to not be anything more than a privileged snob... girl literally only has cheese and onion In her fridge Is that big enough of a problem for you? A lack of food? Or are they still too privileged for your liking because they had parents with money In their childhood?
@@sassyqueen9739 1) I'm kidding 2) You have to be middle class or above to afford private school,90% upper middle class and above so of course not all are rich but the vast majority have a lot more money
I went to private school and I'm rolling my eyes so hard. Of course the majority of people who go to private school aren't RICH rich, but you're privileged to some point if your family can afford it. These people don't seem to realize that.
same. like my mum is the only income in my family she’s a GP. so i am extremely privileged but i’m not as rich rich as some of the people in my school. this video is a joke💀
'private school is not some kind of supremacist scheme.....' Ummm. Oh! I guess that's why they let in anyone no matter how rich your parents are... The lack of self-awareness would be funny if it didn't have real-world effects.
I go to a private school in the Philippines and yes I am privileged to be in a private school. Most Filipinos would think that I go to a private school, I'm automatically rich. They would say “oh nuhay gale ebo iphone” which translates to “you don't even have an iphone”, I'm here like not all students of private schools can afford it??? I got into ateneo just bcs I studied really well and my single mom strived really hard. I don't get why people would even follow these stereotypes, it's just plain rude and stupid.
I am also studying in a private catholic school in the philippines and the high school uniforms have long sleeves. LONG SLEEVES. If you guys don't know its super hot here in the philippines so why would they give us l o n g s l e e v e s. And bonus; we weren't allowed to roll them up.
Yeah well in Britain going to a private school means YOU PAYED... we have grammar schools which are the schools you can study to get into. Not the same thing
Not all private school children has had the luxury of this common misinterpreted stereotype. Some of these children may have had tough upbringings, and had to work their asses off to try and get into a good school. Yes, the majority of private school children has had their parents pay for them, but it doesn’t mean they don’t know what struggling feels like. There could be issues at home, or an illness that could be interfering with their health.
Not everyone that goes to a private school is rich. I just started at the cheapest private school in my area and my parents have trouble paying the bills.
Ik I’m late but not all private school kids are rich! i go to private school and we always struggle to pay the school fees because sometimes they’re more than my family owns as a whole.
well many kids from public schools can manage their own success. It's all about your own will and your discipline. No matter in what kind of school you go, if you aren't motivated you won't come anywhere. Money won't solve your lack of interest in education.
People will complain if a channel focuses on only marginalized people. People will complain if a channel pays attention to when privileged kids are bullied. For fuck's sake people BBC 3 has also done videos about cosplay and gamers. Hardly oppressed minorities either one of them. It's almost as if their message is "Don't be a jerk to people. Period."
Charlie 2 they aren’t being bullied 😂😂😂 all it is, is people pointing out the obvious. It would be bullying if someone beat them up or picked on them everyday for going private school
Ah yes, the only form of bullying ever is getting beat up or harassed every single day ever. -_____- Being a rude prat to someone for no reason is also a form of bullying.
I *hate* the stigma that every pupil who attends private school is really rich. I attend a private school and only one of my friends is “rich”.... they treat us like we are super rich and we for some reason have offended people who didn’t go to a private school???? Like wut
You may view your friend as rich but they might be mega rich to some people And you may be viewed as rich by some people It's like a kid in an Indian slum would think that people on a minimum wage job living in a tiny flat are rich
Jota -The Magician that’s not exactly what we are talking about here... I mean even going to school is a huge privilege at all to some people no matter what that school may be....there will always be someone worse off than you
im just lmao at some of these private school ppl in these comments " i go to a private school but im not rich" or "im not privileged" acknowledge your privilege and move on no one says its bad. Why you're reluctant to acknowledge the benefits and advantages that most can only dream of is beyond me. Doesnt matter if you don't pay or you pay less to attend
But the problem is they get attacked from people mad for no reason I went to a special school because I was struggling very much in a normal school setting so I got a scholarship at fusion academy if you learn you have no reason to go unless you have money just laying around
@@caprisunluva6470 yeah but you're still privileged, going to a private school is a privilege regardless of your socioeconomic status. Same with me going to a good state school I'm privileged because I go to a good state school (teaching quality is good, support is good, facilities are ok etc, it still has issues though like shit communication but way better than my old state school).
Coming from someone who made the mistake of a private education for my later years, I think that, at least in my case, private school is a toxic and challenging environment. Sure, I think in comparison to my state funded primary education there were some amazing benefits like smaller classes sizes in a private school, proper funding, world class facilities etc. but there is an astonishing level of pressure in private school. It's all about league tables and how private school A is performing against school B. Independent successes are not celebrated, in favour of celebrating how the top students are performing at representing the school on local, regional even national levels. Or even it's about how many students have gained places at university - why would anyone choose another path? Why would anyone shame the school by choosing to work after school? As if it's not enough that the education is tough and the environment is mentally exhausting, the people are socially exhausting. If it's not parents impressing with the latest porsche or hosting the whole of your year for a party in their lawn it's the other pupils who'll drain you with their endless stream of the latest gadgets, fancy over-the-top expensive clothes and their disdain if you're anything below middle class. And what's more, when you're finally managing to cope with all of that, you then have to learn with how people treat you when they find out you went to private school. You must be rich! What was it like? How did you get in? Thank god I can tell them I was a scholarship/bursary student so at least i can escape posh kid status...
yeah same im leaving next year but ive been at private school for a lot of secondary schl and ofc im really grateful and i got a great oppurtunity that lots of people could only wish for but firstly im a scholarship kid to 😂 so its harder to relate to some people at my schl (luckily its a more ‘progressive’ one so its not as bad as some lol) but im never gone live down having gone to private schl (obviously im not gonna use it to try get me advantages either) and also although all the teachers was great a lot of the schl has to be more artificial like at least compared to the normal schl that my sister goes to that i would of gone to if i didnt happen to get the scholarship Like at the other schl nobodies pretending to be nothing and dont get me started on parents cos lots of them are so much more cold ( or maybe theyre just tryna be proffesional ) at private school Sorry just done a whole rant but yeah lol 😂
There is still large amounts of pressure in comprehensive schools as well. Because other children in grammar schools or private schools look down on you. You feel extra pressure to do well, because you feel that you do not want to be outdone by other students. Pressure in every school. It’s a difficult one.
Grammar schools ? I go 2,a grammar school by passing a test by 2 marks and I'm from a working class northeastern family living in a gang area and I went 2 a catholic primary school with the budget full of pennies
I think that’s a bit too specific for them to consider. They’ve done things not to say to disabled people. It might not be the same thing but I think it sorta falls under the same boat
TheMrJesse yes, BBC get alot of things wrong..some parents go without new clothes or technology, doing every hour possible to send their kid to a private school..this video is a bit one sided
I went to two years of private school and yes, you are so lucky and fortunate and that isn't a negative thing, just the truth. The education is much better, the food isn't gross, and the extra curricular activities are better usually. You are treated better there and it's not a zoo like public school with a million students.
wow so hard I’m so sorry The only thing I can actually think of is if a conventionally attractive person had something like self esteem issues and you went “you’re so ungrateful you’re so pretty and I’m not and you call yourself ugly”
Actually many African countries have several royal families. For example my school had a few boarding students from Nigeria and in the past it had included princes and princesses.
I used to love learning and being enlightened on different people’s situations in this series but now not so much.A few rich kids complaining about being hated on for going to private schools and the occasional few of them trying to break all stereotypes and assumptions for the camera
The point of the video seemed to be to prove that not everyone that goes to private school is a rich snob who plays polo - you can also go to a day school in south London that you got into on a 95% scholarship, or a 50% music/art/sport scholarship, or you could be someone just taking A-Levels or GCSE's at a private school because that's what your parents can afford. These people were not the most adequate tbh
as someone who went to private school for a while, private school people aren't regular. they're pretty terrible tbh, and i wish bbc 3 didn't try and put going to a fee paying school on the same level as having tourettes or being an immigrant. going to private school is a massive, unfair advantage and people who have it deserve all the stick we get.
I went to private school and it does carry a stigma, but literally the only reason I got sent there was because the other choices of school in the area were so dire (less than 10% exiting with 5 A-C GCSEs), if they'd been half decent I would have gone to one of those. As a parent now myself (no they don't go to private school) I totally understand why they did it even though I wasn't happy about it at the time. My parents weren't rich, they were both teachers, but they decided to put the money into my education rather than things like holidays and fancy cars. And I'd say over 50% of my girls in my school were not white. There's also different types of private schools, some are academically selective (which usually offer substantial scholarships for the academically gifted), some are not. We did have a few rich kids in the school, but generally speaking most were like me, from a working class backgrounds with parents who worked their arses off so their daughter could get a half decent education. I just hate the way people talk about it like I had a choice in the matter, like it was my decision to go....
Nocturne22 Okay, but BBC3 has done so many other videos on marginalised groups that for everyone to suddenly claim that BBC3 is promoting opression is ridiculous. What you said has practically nothing to do with my comment.
They are not trying to look like victims, they just sharing opinions. God. You know how bad is to go to a private school and sometimes need to hide it because of what would people say? I'm in a very expensive university in México, I have a driver, nice home, etc etc and sometimes I have to hide it because people who doesnt know me attacks me. When I was a kid I didnt had friends because they made fun of me (one time a bunch of girls wait for me just to throw me rocks) and yet, you CANT say anything because no matter what you are aaaalways the bad guy because you have money, money that it's not even yours, it's from your parents who just try to give you a nice education. But no, "you are rich, so you cant complain". Sometimes I feel like Im not even allow to feel sad because I have a "nice easy life". Do you know how bad is to don't be sad? My mother died, but hey, at least she didnt died because of starving, it was a slow and painful thing but she had a nurse even when she lost her senses for 3 years, but there are people who has are worst because they don't have a driver, so feel happy because YOU.ARE.VERY.LUUUUCKY :)
@Starscream91 oh the hell, in my understanding being rich or poor doesn't affect your feelings. Having money doesn't make your sorrow melt away. Money gives a little more comfort on financial moves but that's about it. Being not rich gives less stability and that stresses people a lot. What you are saying is incorrect, because everyone has a fair share of peoblems they deal with. There isn't a single person in this world thai is completely happy and pleased with his life. Nothing can change that. What I call a lucky person is one that can manage their problems with dignity and pride. What people do is forget that and clinge to little things like fame, family, love or money to find happiness but it can't be found. A person always envies what they don't have for example you envy the rich and the other envies non rich. You see, there is never a place you can't feel negative feels but what's important is that when striving for better you be humble and understanding.
because everyone needs to not just virtue signal, but generally signal all day long because the world just HAS to know what Janice from Berkshire has to say about private schools.
Episode Interactive I doubt they would make 2 different vids. People beg for months to make one on anxiety and still no response, making just one summarizing diabetes would be more than we could ever get :/ I don't understand how people from bbc make their choices. Ignore suggestions but make one which nobody wanted (like this one)? Doesn't make sense.
Aliyah Amir yeah I do have great grades, every class is a 95 or above, and they decided I didn't qualify because to get financial aid you have to have both parents working but my mom cant, so I was really fucked over on that.
You know what. I'm glad that finally someone is thinking about the people that truly got the worst lot in life. Look at all these brave souls that is finally taking a stand to the injustices they face on a day to day basis
To people getting snarky in the comments: you know loads of people get into private schools on bursaries, right? It's not JUST about money. Having had the experience of both public and private school, I can safely say that, on the whole, private IS a nicer experience, education wise. But it does come with its own set of problems. Really, public and private should be made more equal, so that it's not just rich and clever people who get a good education; the inequality is unfair, no doubt about it!
I don't imagine people who never had the means to attend a private school give much of a shit about the struggles of attending a private school, or the assumptions and stereotypes associated with that. Here's the part where I pull out a tiny violin. Ease of access for people born into wealth to a higher quality education is just one of many things that have kept social mobility so low. It is, at the very least, symbolic of class divisions inherent to capitalism and so ingrained into British society.
private schools shouldn't exist and the quality of education at state schools should be improved. why should some people be able to get a better education than others just because they have rich parents or live in a well off area? and why should those with high academic achievement only be able to go to private schools? (and grammar schools). everyone should be entitled to the same level of education
Most rich people inherit their wealth, so nah, they didn't work hard. A rich CEO who sits on his ass all day at a computer isn't working harder than the woman working 14 hours a day at 2 jobs making minimum wage. You can be the smartest or hardest worker and still make nothing, while the dummy with generational wealth gets a cushy job at daddy's company even though he's never studied or worked a real job.
When you got a scholarship to go to a private school.....but you're poor........and the whole school was basically for kids with families that have financial problems.....but there was this one kid.....he payed full tuition....he has like 4 houses.....and his mom and no one else does bot beat him....when my friends and I found out......we were shook....(Edit: We were a small ass school, had short holidays, we didn't even have a gym....we went to the park across the street....yes a public park and graduate in a Cathedral and not all the grafuates became important people some just legit do nothing)
"Did mummy and daddy pay for that?"
How tf should a kid be able to pay for private school lol

@@HitmanKingJay depends on who you are and what you're parents want you to do. If your parent is a political figure or royalty you're not going to a regular school ever for a myriad reasons. Privacy and safety would probably take top priority. And kids in general don't choose their school because their parents choose for them.
John Buffalo I am 97 it’s funny watching humans give them selves “honorary” terms.... “oh my! I’m so special!

1. If you are a scholarship kid you may not be rich. 2.

Because school, simply school, is wrong for that reason authoritarianschoolingcouk
libedorgukslash indexdotphpslasharticlesslash414-high-learning-potential This happened in the 80s at Balfour House, in Wales. It was a short-lived down-market private school in an old stone rectory building, with poorer facilities than the competing state schools as we all gradually realised, no sports fields of its own they had to bus us to another site, and there was nothing posh about the kids there. They pronounced "ears" as "years", and they mocked public school talk (in Britain public school means the poshest type of private) the same as any state kid would.
Someone is salty
Lmao
Having gone to private school myself most of these guys aren't debunking the stereotypes at all!

Stop acting as if people who went to private school are oppressed / stigmatised, I am currently going to one and people can say me anything
To you I say nothing because you are aware. Thanks Alex! It means a lot that you stand up for groups you aren’t a part of. 💕
Sandy ? Thanks ;) I know I am "privileged" but that doesn't stop me from empathising with others who are not as lucky as me
"Can say me anything "
My thoughts exactly, I'm quite disappointed that this video was made because all the other "people who are x" videos are informative and on people that are actually stigmatised
I think they aren’t oppressed, but they are definitely stereotyped and this series is attempting to break down those stereotypes, so I understand why they did it. It’s just wasn’t entirely necessary.
i find it hard to sympathise after seeing their names ....

Hol ok. Kids who go to private school are not all rich and privileged. I go to private school and its very expensive, but I'm not rich. My family is living in an apartment. Yes there are rich kids at my school but not all of us are.
Its Zoe! I also go to private school, and my family is Also not rich. I tried public school for a bit, but i thaught It was boring; The students were rude and i missed liking school. I have Friends from public schools and i feel way more educated than them. Also i am not privilged because i worked wery hard to Get good grades and i PAY for a better school. If you pay more for a better Phone, does that mean that you are privliged?
They’re all so brave, thank you for sharing their stories.

Just because we are above average doesn't mean we are posh.

"Private school's not some kind of supremacist scheme"
...
@@crisk75 Yeah, but normal school in a fancier building (with higher paid teachers and better equipment) is SUPERIOR by definition.
I mean, white supremacists usually agree that other people are people. They just think that whites are superior people.
Let's be honest, the whole point of a two-tier system is to build-in an advantage for the privately educated. It is literally a supremacist scheme (although in this case it is not a racial supremacy but a financial/educational one).
@@crisk75 I went to a 'normal' school in the UK. It's not my fault I have a decent education and it's not your fault that yours was more expensive and probably in many ways 'better'. Neither is it something we can be proud of. Like they said in the video, we are all privileged - some more than others.
I am very 'chill' haha, maybe I came off as being a bit blunt but I'm only saying what I think.
I am not blaming anyone, or judging anyone. I am not comparing anyone to a white supremacist, just using that as an example because the person in the video worded it funny.
I don't care how much it cost or what grades you got, and I'm not remotely jealous - but it is definitely a kind of supremacist scheme. It is by definition and if were not, then it wouldn't exist at all - would it? :)
davebuchan81, totally agree. The worst part is a lot of them see themselves as better off. Children are growing up entitled, and a lot of them don’t think anything of it. My mum’a a teacher at a public school, and she knows a private school teacher that at the end of the year threw out a years worth of brand new supplies. (Because they could have germs🙄). Meanwhile, in her public school classroom, half the class can’t afford new supplies.
And then of course is the perception that because I attend public school, I have not amount to much, and of course I could never become a doctor or a lawyer.😂😂 (hopefully I can come back in ten years and say that I’ve become a pediatric oncologist)
@@erinrose1097 That is a very good ambition :)
Remember, even if a lot of them see themselves as better (and even see you as inferior!) there are many who don't think like that.
If the school you go to is like mine then there are many who think they are better than the council estate people - there are silly judgmental fools everywhere at every level. Ignore them or use them to fuel your ambition. Don't play their game, and when you see it - don't let it make you angry or sad.
Let it make you humble and remember how privileged you are compared to so many. That is how you avoid being entitled yourself. Laughing at them is definitely the best way, especially if you can do it in front of them haha.
It's easy to be blind. You will be better, but better because you care - not better because you can afford it!
Hopefully there are a good portion of privately educated people who will do the same. Good luck with your studies :)
davebuchan81 normally the teachers get paid less actually
The show is discussing misconceptions not discussing exclusively privileged people. Its just helping everyone see things from various peoples pov. Comments need to chill, they all seem like good people.

Problem? What problem? The only problem I currently see is my ignorance. But ignorance is bliss isn’t it... still though. I’m nosy.
Gg Ff they’re not asking for your sympathy. None of them did at all in the video.

Get this right, not everyone that goes to private schools are rich, that was not the point of the video, and there are different types of private schools, some may be castles or some may be massive, and some may be posher than others, I go to a private school and I’m on a full bursary so I’m not incredibly rich am I?
Bro I just googled sevenoaks out of curiosity and IT IS A CASTLE. Damn it how do people get so used to huge grounds and rugby pitches that they forget that most schools can’t even afford to send their kids on school trips?? You’re on a full bursary? Good for you. You’re still receiving a first class elitist education that the other 93% of the population not in private school couldn’t hope to recreate. Whether or not you payed for it you ARE PRIVELIGED. That’s not an insult, it’s facts. Stop complaining about it.
ellen wright I had to work hard for it, some people could have gone there but didn’t work hard and I know I’m privileged just not in the same way
ellen wright I hope you take what I said into consideration
Words On Stilettos I’m sure you did work hard. So does everyone else. But most of us don’t get the opportunity to then apply to private school. I personally work very hard and go to a grammar school, but that’s not just down to my hard work, I was also quite privileged and I’m self aware about that. There are so many socioeconomic factors that determine your place in life, especially in this classist country. All I’m saying it that two people can work just as hard as each other but only a few of us are going to have the opportunity to attend a school like sevenoaks no matter what we do. It’s okay that you’ve grown up with privilege. It doesn’t mean that you haven’t faced difficulties or worked hard. It just means that you started off in a better place, and that helped you continue on that path later on. Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
The reason they made this video is to show how not all kids that go to private schools are rich, privileged, and entitled. Some had to work for Scholarships or had donations to help pay for tuition.
Doctor Penguino which one of these people actually talked about getting a scholarship? or said they had a scholarship? Or even didn’t say they rode horses?
andy Cole his point is that yes people pay for it (like these people) but some have to work for scholarships which can be really hard.
S D Most private schools are a lot more than that...
S D I go to a private school on a full scholarship. The tuition fees are about 30,000 a year (more if you’re boarding)
Just because you have more money and want your child to get a better education, you are not going to burn in hell.
Yes, the children are privileged, but I came from a very deprived background myself and just wanted to get a good education
Solo Lola I wouldn’t say that simply going to a private school makes one privileged over all? Like yes, private education could be an aspect of privilege, but it doesn’t mean the child is, for example, more privileged than a kid going to a local comprehensive in a decent area with parents who earn a six figure salary 🤷🏼♀️

I don't think it wanted to show them as oppressed, they kept repeating how priviliged they are! It's just a show that talks about misconceptions, not oppression. And there are misconceptions also about private schools, so i don't see any problem in this episode whatsoever
Yeah I have lots of friends with one or more scholarships and I've also had people treat me differently when they found out I go to a private school. I think the misconception is that we're all stuck up pricks that take it for granted
I can see why you'd get that impression, although there is an episode about people who don't celebrate christmas, one about gamers, one about cosplayers and ones about short and tall people, which are groups that, last I checked, don't necessarily face oppression. So I do think the series, while being fully capable of highlighting oppression, is also alright to produce videos about largely harmless misconceptions
DreamersArmy The only person I heard mention privilege, was the black guy and the person next to him then said that was the same thing as luck. Luck and privilege are NOT the same thing. Luck is a matter of chance and I'm sorry, but if you're in private school you've had very different chances from children who have grown up in impoverished areas. This still applies (although to a lesser extent) to scholarship students. To gain a scholarship you usually need to pass some form of test. Many children from impoverished areas have not had a good primary education and many struggle with unstable home life's, making it less likely they'll pass these tests.
Lucky for some kids is getting three meals a day. So to say that's the same thing as privilege is bullshit.
Agreed
DreamersArmy THANK YOU!
Things not to say to someone who went to private school:

Pfft.. they haven’t even had tea with the queen.
Lewis Murphy have you? Don’t judge them.

Can we please stop with the whole coconut, bounty and oreo etc.. thing, its so derogatory. I'm not any less black because of where I go to school or how I speak.
its so awful that people do this, people have different life experiences and to shame someone for not acting a certain way or a way expected of them due to their race is ridiculous,
Ona Onye
Africans who go to such schools such as the nigerians and ghanians tend not to be called coconuts as they stick to their African heritage but Caribbeans who go to such school loose touch of their Jamaican/Caribbean/African heritage.
Ona Onye 👏🏾
Thank you!!
Ona Onye I got called an oreo because I hang out with others from a different race smh
it wasn't their decision to go to private school it was their parents, so why yes their parents may be rich or well off, they aren't necessarily. Plus a lot of people in private education aren't rich. Of course they are privileged but not by their own fault they just are and why it is not the most important subject to look into, its wrong to say you cant talk about it because it upsets people who don't agree with what they have versus what others don't. Everyone lives different and everyone is different.
Their parents have to be rich to afford to spend £10,000 plus of their yearly income to send their kids to a better school. So many families wouldn’t be able to eat or live in a home if they did this
aka _drb nope, they don’t, it’s very limited and hard to get. Paying for better education shouldn’t be a thing as it just gives rich people an advantage in life to stay rich through no work or effort of themselves.
@aka _drb You still need lots of money though. If you werent wealthy you would never even consider it and send your kid to state school.
@aka _drb thxs for replying and sharing your opinion,
Still MOST of the fees, I notice. So their family does still have enough to pay that. Also the minority of people in that situation in private school is so small it doesn't affect my view.
Personally I feel that the problem with private schools is you are only surrounded by certain groups of people. I am not denying private schools have diversity, but it's still never going to be as much exposure as you would experience in a public school. You aren't going to meet any other kids in poverty or who aren't financially stable.
exposure is important because it gives u a certain understanding of the world and prepares you for life.
Also like the people in the video said, there is alot of pressure when you are in a school of high performers, or your place at the school is dependent on your ability.
I don't think private schools offer enough benefits to be worth it
@aka _drb That's a good point, private school is personal choice. Some people work better in that environment.
Just not everyone has the oppertunity to go to private school. They are exclusive and therefore non diverse.
TBH the people in the comments don’t get the point. They aren’t saying that they are oppressed. The people are just saying that people hate so much for no reason.
edit: ok i’m going to try to clarify myself. what i’m trying to say that they aren’t trying to make themselves oppressed. they are saying that they didn’t choose to go to a private school, and that annoying them about it isn’t going to help anyone.
greyballoon / and rightly so! I mean just listen to them and this is coming from someone who went to and still is in private school! I go to private school and this video is just so cringey and forced. We aren’t an oppressed group.
Onari Ojuka sooo it’s okay to hate on someone who went to a better school than you? Jealousy is ugly and unnecessary. Might as well just hate on everyone then cause everybody has at least one thing that’s better than yours.
Winnie lol how can I be jealous of something I already have? I’m in private school and have been in private school all my life so I know how they feel, but I still think this video is very unnecessary because we aren’t an ‘oppressed’ group.
Onari Ojuka I don't think they were trying to say we're oppressed, they were just trying to debunk stereotypes
People are entitled to be as angry and envious as they want about an unequal system. It's not jealousy, it's outrage at the fact that some folks have better education and resources not because they deserve it more but because they're already more fortunate.
Was this video really necessary though?
Poppy Collins not at all. One of the interns thought of it when he was drinking home made coffee and not store bought. But someone assumed it was from a fancy cafe. And he had to remind them. Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean he ALWAYS gets fancy coffee. GOSH!!
Are any videos on youtube really necessary?
As somebody who went to private school I found it interesting to relate to.
It wasn’t lol
Poppy Collins yeah
I’m just now realizing why there’s a horse with a man and a stick as the logo for polo shirts 😂

Why does everybody in the comments have to be a jerk?? I'm pretty sure the point of this video wasn't to make them look oppressed. It's to show how there's stigma around some of the simplest things ever. We need to realize that even in small, insignificant things we somehow feel the need to judge. The point is stop being a jerk to people whether they're privileged or not. Let them be. They're not hurting anyone so why do you have to risk hurting someone's feelings with your rude comments?? :(
マシュマロMashumaro people are shit, that’s probably why.
yeah but their reactions were winy and those of us who go to schools that cant afford enough desks for their students are annoyed
It's the fact that just being born into a family who has money automatically gives them the privilege of an education miles ahead of anyone else. Leading to them earning more in the future and then their kids going the same all the money stays at the top. While the rest of us are sat taking cuts to our children's education enforced by a government of people who were all privately educated. Another gripe is that private schools have charity status so no taxes paid on the education.
Campbell Spark At least you are able to go to school some people can't so you aren't allowed to complained.
So, wherever you live, public school isn't a thing?🤔

Hayden Joseph yes I am Gay, your point is?
Hayden Joseph not sensitive it’s just being called gay... when I am gay, I don’t get the point! So you are telling me that every heterosexual couple that has the ability to reproduce should do it even if they don’t want to or aren’t able? And are you telling me heterosexual couples and people don’t abuse, mistreat, murder and abandon their children? We have millions of children without homes and families we have countries putting a limit on how many children a couple can have, seems to me reproduction is not the shining light of creation and the be all and end all and yes... homosexual couples can reproduce 100%
I was neutral when I watched the video, but once I read the comments, I think some people miss the point. It's not about the oppression, but the stigma and the misconceptions. When I was in first grade, I was quite an outcaste, and I was already bullied for that. Later, a group of "popular" students found out that my family was more privileged than them (If I'm correct, I think it was from the newspaper because our family was big, and we have some successful business people. Actually, before they found out about my family, they bullied me for using cheap, old stuffs.) Then, I was picked on more physically and socially. The slapped me (together 6-7 people), pushed me down the stairs, imputed my mom that she is a prostitute, and many more. I didn't want to make them think I was a spoiled brat, so I kept it all to myself until those people left to a new school.
Gosh that's awful. People like that never do well in life. School was the best they'll ever experience. Karma always catches up.
I don't necessarily want any bad things happening to them. I just don't want them, nor anyone, to do this to anyone. Nobody has the right to bully, and nobody deserves the bully.

Probably the most discriminated against group in the U.K.
All the people in this video seem genuinely lovely, which is making me hate the comments even more. While yes, this is a divergence from BBC 3's normal choice of demographic, the point of these videos is to challenge stereotypes of ALL people.
They seem lovely...when have you ever spoken for any length of time with one of them? BBC3 always get a totally unrepresentative panel whenever they are attempting something like this. Look at the percentage of UK born ethnic minorities that go to private school and tell me this group is representative. Secondly, a single video of this type is cut to demonstrate the point the editor is wanting to relay, so if anyone of them said anything even slightly controversial it would be edited out. Why not have them answer questions about what we think, instead of "things they hear" which is a pile of steaming horse-shit.
Albert Brammer You're right, I don't know these people. That is why I used the indefinite verb 'seem': it was simply, my impression of the people. I'm sorry if your outlook is more pessimistic. Secondly, in this video the ratio of white british to other ethnicities is 5:3. If you look at the 2015 ICS census you will find that 30% of private school pupils are not white British, meaning the people in the video are at least somewhat representative. Finally, I don't think this debate really matters. Clearly you don't like this series; the premise is 'a steaming pile of horse-shit' as you so eloquently put it, and so I am not going to sway your opinion further.
Albert Brammer I go to a private school and it’s about 65% Asian

Is just you know not only the minorities are bullied... Now a days everyone Is being bullied...
it isnt about who's the most oppressed its about stopping misconceptions toward anyone no matter the priviledge
I think it's good to show things from lots of different perspective. There all sat there saying they're privileged and lucky, they're not acting like they're oppressed but that doesn't mean life is really easy for them. Everyone struggles with something and it's interesting to hear what different people have to say about their experiences x
Ok. So here's the thing. Not all kids who go to private school are rich and live in giant mansions. I live in an apartment but I still go to private school. It was just about my mom and dad caring enough to put 1000s of dollars that they've been saving into my education so I can have a better life than they do. And yes rich people do get bullied. I know.
All I got from this video is that all the stereotypes about kids that go to private school are true lol
None of the stereotypes are true... if you think we eat like royalty, you’re wrong... we eat like pigs....... if you think we have perfect grammar, you’re wrong... I have plenty of friends who don’t have a clue about spelling or grammar........ you think we use posh words, you’re wrong.... we call each other names all day 😂 and we are hardly different to state schools

These people kind of reinforce the stereotype I have of people who go to private school. Plus, I though this series was meant to be for aspects of society that are genuinely misunderstood, like disabilities and progressive personal choices?
Private school kids are genuinely misunderstood. Etonian and Harrow students are projected as pompous and full of themselves, but that’s not always the case? Yes, they’re privileged in the sense that yes their parents had money and they were lucky enough to go to private school. I was too. But this isn’t how every private school is. They’re just normal beings, made out to be arrogant based on their parent’s money. It’s an unjust system, especially from the ones who are actively opening charities to try and get working-class individuals into Oxbridge and other top-class universities. They are misunderstood. This series doesn’t have a level of severity in terms of a physical scale on how misunderstood people are compared to others. One isn’t more understood than the other. It’s just a different range.
Almas Shah shut up
Almas the fact your calling going to private school as luck. That isn’t luck. Luck is winning the lottery not getting things payed for you
Actually, it's indirect luck. Those children are lucky enough that their parents are wealthy enough to pay for private education. That is luck. Not everyone that works hard will work hard enough to be guaranteed they can afford to pay for private education at the end of it.

It's hard to sympathize private school kids no matter how lonely they are. Money comes easily to them and it solves most of the problems
They don’t know what it’s like to struggle as they probably had everything handed to them on a silver platter
Not all private school children has had the luxury of this common misinterpreted stereotype. Some of these children may have had tough upbringings, and had to work their asses off to try and get into a good school. Yes, the majority of private school children has had their parents pay for them, but it doesn’t mean they don’t know what struggling feels like. There could be issues at home, or an illness that could be interfering with their health.
Not everyone that goes to a private school is rich. I just started at the cheapest private school in my area and my parents have trouble paying the bills.
Ik I’m late but not all private school kids are rich! i go to private school and we always struggle to pay the school fees because sometimes they’re more than my family owns as a whole.
well many kids from public schools can manage their own success. It's all about your own will and your discipline. No matter in what kind of school you go, if you aren't motivated you won't come anywhere. Money won't solve your lack of interest in education.

My private school sucks I don’t see no privledge
Coming from someone who made the mistake of a private education for my later years, I think that, at least in my case, private school is a toxic and challenging environment. Sure, I think in comparison to my state funded primary education there were some amazing benefits like smaller classes sizes in a private school, proper funding, world class facilities etc. but there is an astonishing level of pressure in private school. It's all about league tables and how private school A is performing against school B. Independent successes are not celebrated, in favour of celebrating how the top students are performing at representing the school on local, regional even national levels. Or even it's about how many students have gained places at university - why would anyone choose another path? Why would anyone shame the school by choosing to work after school? As if it's not enough that the education is tough and the environment is mentally exhausting, the people are socially exhausting. If it's not parents impressing with the latest porsche or hosting the whole of your year for a party in their lawn it's the other pupils who'll drain you with their endless stream of the latest gadgets, fancy over-the-top expensive clothes and their disdain if you're anything below middle class. And what's more, when you're finally managing to cope with all of that, you then have to learn with how people treat you when they find out you went to private school. You must be rich! What was it like? How did you get in? Thank god I can tell them I was a scholarship/bursary student so at least i can escape posh kid status...
yeah same im leaving next year but ive been at private school for a lot of secondary schl and ofc im really grateful and i got a great oppurtunity that lots of people could only wish for but firstly im a scholarship kid to 😂 so its harder to relate to some people at my schl (luckily its a more ‘progressive’ one so its not as bad as some lol) but im never gone live down having gone to private schl (obviously im not gonna use it to try get me advantages either) and also although all the teachers was great a lot of the schl has to be more artificial like at least compared to the normal schl that my sister goes to that i would of gone to if i didnt happen to get the scholarship
Like at the other schl nobodies pretending to be nothing and dont get me started on parents cos lots of them are so much more cold ( or maybe theyre just tryna be proffesional ) at private school
Sorry just done a whole rant but yeah lol 😂
There is still large amounts of pressure in comprehensive schools as well. Because other children in grammar schools or private schools look down on you. You feel extra pressure to do well, because you feel that you do not want to be outdone by other students. Pressure in every school. It’s a difficult one.
Smoke Harry yeah that’s true. In grammar school though, there’s just as many chavs as at the comprehensive

Actually many African countries have several royal families. For example my school had a few boarding students from Nigeria and in the past it had included princes and princesses.
Nigerian here 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I used to love learning and being enlightened on different people’s situations in this series but now not so much.A few rich kids complaining about being hated on for going to private schools and the occasional few of them trying to break all stereotypes and assumptions for the camera
“1. Hello” Inspired. In awe. So clever. So blessed. So moved. So grateful. Can’t believe this is my life. Thank you
Omg i feel so bad for them, imagine being rich and getting a good education
Must be tough, such an oppressed minority...
The point of the video seemed to be to prove that not everyone that goes to private school is a rich snob who plays polo - you can also go to a day school in south London that you got into on a 95% scholarship, or a 50% music/art/sport scholarship, or you could be someone just taking A-Levels or GCSE's at a private school because that's what your parents can afford. These people were not the most adequate tbh
What is this elitist propaganda
There's nothing elitist about it. They are only showing private school people are just regular people
Okay Julius
as someone who went to private school for a while, private school people aren't regular. they're pretty terrible tbh, and i wish bbc 3 didn't try and put going to a fee paying school on the same level as having tourettes or being an immigrant. going to private school is a massive, unfair advantage and people who have it deserve all the stick we get.
Arianrhod Hyde I don't agree. Not in my school
Amanda Ibraimovic private school IS elitist
I went to private school and it does carry a stigma, but literally the only reason I got sent there was because the other choices of school in the area were so dire (less than 10% exiting with 5 A-C GCSEs), if they'd been half decent I would have gone to one of those. As a parent now myself (no they don't go to private school) I totally understand why they did it even though I wasn't happy about it at the time. My parents weren't rich, they were both teachers, but they decided to put the money into my education rather than things like holidays and fancy cars.
And I'd say over 50% of my girls in my school were not white. There's also different types of private schools, some are academically selective (which usually offer substantial scholarships for the academically gifted), some are not. We did have a few rich kids in the school, but generally speaking most were like me, from a working class backgrounds with parents who worked their arses off so their daughter could get a half decent education.
I just hate the way people talk about it like I had a choice in the matter, like it was my decision to go....
60 videos on marginalised groups
1 video on priveleged people
Comments: BBC3 IS GLORIFYING OPPRESSION
Those poor private school kids =(
Nocturne22 Okay, but BBC3 has done so many other videos on marginalised groups that for everyone to suddenly claim that BBC3 is promoting opression is ridiculous. What you said has practically nothing to do with my comment.
who said that ya dope
Nocturne22 so you're saying other people in the series of videos are supposed to be called "poor kids" ? :s
Must have been really difficult for you, what with the increased chance of career success and all that horrific stuff
Them: I’m not posh
Also them: I joined the wine and cheese society and call my mum mummy
Why are people so bitter about the school they went to that they can’t just watch this damn video without singing in the comments.
we're not bitter lol, just saying that the people in this video try to make themselves look like victims which they aren't
They are not trying to look like victims, they just sharing opinions. God. You know how bad is to go to a private school and sometimes need to hide it because of what would people say? I'm in a very expensive university in México, I have a driver, nice home, etc etc and sometimes I have to hide it because people who doesnt know me attacks me. When I was a kid I didnt had friends because they made fun of me (one time a bunch of girls wait for me just to throw me rocks) and yet, you CANT say anything because no matter what you are aaaalways the bad guy because you have money, money that it's not even yours, it's from your parents who just try to give you a nice education. But no, "you are rich, so you cant complain". Sometimes I feel like Im not even allow to feel sad because I have a "nice easy life". Do you know how bad is to don't be sad? My mother died, but hey, at least she didnt died because of starving, it was a slow and painful thing but she had a nurse even when she lost her senses for 3 years, but there are people who has are worst because they don't have a driver, so feel happy because YOU.ARE.VERY.LUUUUCKY :)
Thank you so much
@Starscream91 oh the hell, in my understanding being rich or poor doesn't affect your feelings. Having money doesn't make your sorrow melt away. Money gives a little more comfort on financial moves but that's about it. Being not rich gives less stability and that stresses people a lot. What you are saying is incorrect, because everyone has a fair share of peoblems they deal with. There isn't a single person in this world thai is completely happy and pleased with his life. Nothing can change that. What I call a lucky person is one that can manage their problems with dignity and pride. What people do is forget that and clinge to little things like fame, family, love or money to find happiness but it can't be found. A person always envies what they don't have for example you envy the rich and the other envies non rich. You see, there is never a place you can't feel negative feels but what's important is that when striving for better you be humble and understanding.
because everyone needs to not just virtue signal, but generally signal all day long because the world just HAS to know what Janice from Berkshire has to say about private schools.
please do things not to say to a type one diabetic!!!!
or type two. Both of us hear a lot of shit.
Episode Interactive I doubt they would make 2 different vids. People beg for months to make one on anxiety and still no response, making just one summarizing diabetes would be more than we could ever get :/
I don't understand how people from bbc make their choices. Ignore suggestions but make one which nobody wanted (like this one)? Doesn't make sense.
Why would we care about insulting them?
things not to say to people who went to public school
Mini Magpie doesn’t work as 90% of people went to state school
Strangely, in the UK "public school" is ultra-posh private school. I'm too working class to know the reason why. 🤔😂
I'm in the Uk and my public school was not ultra posh at all aha
Mini Magpie you mean a state school, a public school is technically what we call “private” schools
In the UK i have never heard the use of "state school"
'Things NOT to say to people who went to private school' - "You're so lucky" 🤔
Aye mate proper bad luck going to rgs like
Well they are lucky, I go to a shitty public school and I tried to go to private but I couldn't afford it because they wouldn't give me financial aid.
You only get financial aid or a scholarship if you're a great candidate. If your grades a shit then you wont have a chnce.
Aliyah Amir yeah I do have great grades, every class is a 95 or above, and they decided I didn't qualify because to get financial aid you have to have both parents working but my mom cant, so I was really fucked over on that.
Ah yeah. Both parents have to be working and paying taxes for you to be eligible. I went to private school and now I'm done with it.
You know what. I'm glad that finally someone is thinking about the people that truly got the worst lot in life. Look at all these brave souls that is finally taking a stand to the injustices they face on a day to day basis
To people getting snarky in the comments: you know loads of people get into private schools on bursaries, right? It's not JUST about money.
Having had the experience of both public and private school, I can safely say that, on the whole, private IS a nicer experience, education wise. But it does come with its own set of problems. Really, public and private should be made more equal, so that it's not just rich and clever people who get a good education; the inequality is unfair, no doubt about it!
Shut up posho
I don't imagine people who never had the means to attend a private school give much of a shit about the struggles of attending a private school, or the assumptions and stereotypes associated with that. Here's the part where I pull out a tiny violin.
Ease of access for people born into wealth to a higher quality education is just one of many things that have kept social mobility so low. It is, at the very least, symbolic of class divisions inherent to capitalism and so ingrained into British society.
private schools shouldn't exist and the quality of education at state schools should be improved. why should some people be able to get a better education than others just because they have rich parents or live in a well off area? and why should those with high academic achievement only be able to go to private schools? (and grammar schools). everyone should be entitled to the same level of education
Most rich people inherit their wealth, so nah, they didn't work hard. A rich CEO who sits on his ass all day at a computer isn't working harder than the woman working 14 hours a day at 2 jobs making minimum wage. You can be the smartest or hardest worker and still make nothing, while the dummy with generational wealth gets a cushy job at daddy's company even though he's never studied or worked a real job.
@@Nocturne22 well said hit nail on the head
Not only a private school.
But at Catholic private school
But I am barely middle class
So a parochial school.
How are you barely middle class if you afford private school
You are middle class or above if you went to a private school. Coming from someone who went to one. You aren’t a working class person.
@@marthab-c5226 middle class = working class, lmao.
upper middle*
When people see we have big houses there like “daddy’s money” I mean who did you except to buy the house
expect*
mine was actually mothers bc she works at the kings university
When you got a scholarship to go to a private school.....but you're poor........and the whole school was basically for kids with families that have financial problems.....but there was this one kid.....he payed full tuition....he has like 4 houses.....and his mom and no one else does bot beat him....when my friends and I found out......we were shook....(Edit: We were a small ass school, had short holidays, we didn't even have a gym....we went to the park across the street....yes a public park and graduate in a Cathedral and not all the grafuates became important people some just legit do nothing)
