I was very expensively educated despite having lower-middle class parents (the government paid). I worked at Pizza Hut during the holidays while classmates went to private islands.
Simply put, if I had told my teachers I wanted to be Prime Minister one day, they'd have told me I needed to enroll in debate club and study politics, rather than laughing or doubting my ability. As a child at school, nobody ever doubted or questioned that me and my classmates would run the world one day, and lo and behold, many of my classmates at 33 are in positions of considerable influence, power, and/or wealth. It is generally very very easy to spot other people who went to expensive private boarding schools in social and work situations.
