Good judges of character.

Id like to think im adopted and im weally a pwincess

Social interventionist bullshit

Meritocracy......pure and simple. And i sent my boy private and hes finishing a phd.

If only your parent could be as proud.

Also, to add to this, education isn't a pure meritocracy, since parental wealth is one of the strongest predictors of academic success.

And the existence of independent schools obviously.

Kids are educated for the exams they are taking, as I said I think a kid taught for O-Levels would struggle with GCSEs, in the same way a kid doing GCSEs would struggle with O-Levels.

I was actually curious about the differences and had a quick search. This BBC article talks about some of the different expectations from the two.

Then there is this which gives an another view:

This is a 1980's comparison, bearing in mind that it is generally acknowledged that the 1970's brought a major change from the 60's.

Both sets of grandparents lived in council housing at the end of their lives.

The first house my parents had after I was born was a council house

My parents worked fairly dull, low paid jobs.

I went to state schools, was in the gifted and talented club, etc.

I have a masters degree and a public sector job I love which saves lives.

I think they're fairly proud all things considered.

Oh and my cousin is training to be a barrister. We've done alright I reckon.

Well done to your boy, a PhD is an excellent achievement, I hope he does well with whatever it is he's researching.

Do they worry about you keeping the family line?.

Do they worry about you keeping the family line?.

I'm not the youngest male in my family with my surname so that pressure is off me.

Private schools aren't all that me and my brother went to a private school. Although I left and did my last 3 years at a catholic secondary schools I got roughly the same sort of results as my brother.

My sister who is 20 years younger than me has discalcula (sp?) and went to Durham high for girls as a junior. They didn't know how to deal with it and asked my parents what they wanted them to do!? £9000 a year and they are asking the parents for teaching advice! Completely useless.

Fuck all out of ten for that marra, and a red cross, and a green, see me later.
