      I went to a state secondary school then got a scholarship for a boarding sixth form. The private sixth form definitely pushed me more for exams than any other state college or school.

      The upper class who can afford these schools also benefit from having stable homes. If you’re impoverished, your home life is likely to be dysfunctional, with addiction and mental illness being higher with poverty. Dealing with those issues at home as a child will massively impact your chances in life. And the wealthy then go on to join the boys club of politics and run the country, where they enact policies which further disenfranchise the poor (see: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, every wanker in the Tory party). Eton and Harrow should be turned into museums and the little darlings put into council estates for a few years to see how they like it.

He kinda understates how fun and enjoyable it is.

    So I went to a State Boarding School that played Private Schools like Harrow at Rugby.
    We were pretty good so 9/10 times we would beat all these posh schools and then go eat their delicious dinner following the match (as they always provided food after if we played on their ground).
    I felt bad for these private schools because when they played at our school they would get SOGGY sausages, chips and doughnuts from our canteen.
    Imagine losing a rugby match to a state school and then having to eat soggy food afterwards.. xD

      @@boarbot7829 If you had actually read my comment, you'll see I said "for my teens" - I was publicy educated for 7 years and privately for 6. I was only able to go when my mum got a job there which gave a 50% discount. When I was privately educated, I didn't get to go on holidays abroad bc we couldn't afford it.
      Secondly, not a single one of my uni friends were privately educated, so we used to talk about it and compare a lot. They're still my best friends 8 years later.
      Thirdly, I come from a working class family on both sides and both of my parents were the only people in their families to stay in school past 16, let alone go to college. I was never allowed to take my privileged education for granted, and all my friends in my hometown went to the local high school.
      Finally, what do you mean by "undeserved"? Did the 98% of kids who failed the entrance exam deserve to get in? Does someone with a nicer car than me not deserve it? Does the fact that I never had a phone bought for me in my life by my parents whilst all my public high school friends had iPhones mean they didn't deserve them?
      Having seen both sides of the coin, the difference between the two is partly facilities, but overwhelmingly is the character and attitude of the teachers. If you go to private school and you're dumb, they can't change that - what they can do is influencr your cognitive faculties and make you more critical and reasonable.
      Using those faculties afforded to me is what makes your comment so laughable:
      1. You immediately dived into having a go at me didn't stop to read that I have been through both private and public education (i.e. I actually have a real perspective on both - do you?)
      2. You immediately default to the Marxist-Wolffian position that having something better than others means it must be stolen somewhere in the chain of trade and thus is "undeserved". I am pretty frugal and am absolutely certain you have stuff in your posession that is much nicer than mine - so who gets to decide whether you deserve it? You? Unless you stole it, I think you deserve it.
      So if I go to a fee-paying school as a child of a plumber and a teacher, at what point does my parents dedicating their lives and sacrificing stuff like going on holiday simply got my education mean that I don't deserve it?

Otherwise you embarrass yourself and it's frankly offensive to others who grew up in diabolical poverty, living hand to mouth.

    I’m American but I have heard of Harrow mostly because Benedict cumberbatch went there and I always see comments under his interviews describing him as “posh”

    I live and work near Harrow school. Kids there are really well behaved. Especially if compared to other schools around.
    Another interesting fact is that recently just 10 minutes downhill from Harrow there's many homeless camps. Drug use, begging and random acts of violence are commonplace.
