exactly. People have it in their heads that private school = only the top schools (ie the Scotchs etc).
There are many more private schools than just the stupidly rich ones, and they have very different student demographics across the range of schools.
So yes, you (among others) are generating stupid and illinformed stereotypes which may fit for some students in the top schools but certainly not all and certainly doesn't take into account students which come from private schools which aren't like the top schools. |
That's a very fair point, which I agree heartily with, hence why I mentioned early on in the thread that, in using the words "private school", I meant only the "top" schools like Scotch, because that's where, on the whole, the snobby attitudes and "must-have-a-degree" thoughts stem from. Other schools like P.E.G.S, De La Salle, Marcellin etc tend to be far more down to earth and seem like a glorified public schools than private schools.
Echosystm, I find it hard to believe that you say you don't know a single Scotch kid who went to uni, when around 90% of school leavers at places like Scotch go onto university.
You must have been hanging around with the 10% of battlers who couldn't make it.
