"Rich, thick kids do better than poor, clever children"

• zeemonkee 16y ago
  'Twas ever thus. I can't think of a single society where kids from rich families (or families of privileged status, like Communist Party members in old USSR/China) did not have unfair advantages over poor kids. What you need to allow, at the very least, is a chance for poor kids to rise. Unfortunately the British comprehensive system has done its level best to prevent this for the past 40 years.
