How about France? Don't all the policitians go to the same Parisian based universities of Science Po and such like.
And how about all the Labour politicians who sent their children to private school? Yes, Eton has a very high proportion of alumni in positions of power, but this is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I went to the Manchester Grammar School; in the top 20 now I think. However all my three children went or go to the local state school. It has a very good academic reputation, forced upon it by a strong governors and willing parents. It is better than many of the private schools within driving distance and my children walk there. I have saved a fortune.
One of my friends has sent two of his three children to private schools (a boy to MGS). Quite simply, the kids are very very bright, very inquisitive and perhaps a little odd. They have thrived in an environment that simply cannot exist in the state sector.
