Now then, posh gits like me have an impression that state schools are full of obnoxious chavs who throw chairs around the classroom and beat crap out of anyone who appears capable of actually getting a 'C' for one of their GCSE-thingummyjigs, never mind 4 Grade A 'A' levels or going to Oxford or Cambridge. Apparently the 'students' finish school unable to read, write or do basic arithmetics, and there isn't even any teaching of elementary particle physics. Many of the girls end up pregnant at 14 and are twice divorced grannies by the time they're 28. It's not so much 'ciggies behind the bike shed' as 'crack cocaine behind the bike shed' and that's just the teachers.
It's a dark view and perhaps more than a little prejudiced and exaggerated, seeing as I've met plenty of state educated people who seem to be pretty happy, well adjusted adults.
So tell me, if you went to a comp, how was it? Would you send your kids to the same school?
