yer, I hope you saw the funny side of what I was saying

I wouldn't touch a state school with a bargepole and my experience of private school is pretty much par for the course

In comparrison between kids at a state run school and those from a private establishment, the kids at private school were on the whole better behaved
at school than those of their state counterparts- the sort of thing that seems acceptable at state run school would have got me a pasting at private school... seems that the level of disciplin and respect for the school is no longer instilled at state schools.
And as for a 'better class' of person I was only really refering to their behaviour whilst attending schooling; not so much yobbish behaviour- what they become after leaving school was not in question.
Unfortunately, these days you can't help but live for money... just the way society works now

But I take solace in the fact that I'm public school educated and I turned out a fairly decent person, even if I may say so myself *regards others with a lofty expression* :rotfl:
Really, it's a shame that schools of all kinds have these stupid 'don't interfere with my life justification/validation as a pain in the arse' things, if more of these violent little s***'s got the occasional thrashing in their former years then they might grow up with a little more respect for their elders and betters... but now I'm harking back to the bygone era where people actually gave a s**t about anything; no doubt the same era that these uncaring ppl would consider as the dark days of institutionalised oppression and backwardness ...halcyon days :hmm:
