This is fascinating to me, as a parent who is scrimping to send my children to private school. So I hope you don't mind me asking further questions. Besides the social situations where people find out which school you went to, how did you find this dynamic with your parents? Did it make you appreciate the opportunity more, or did it heap more pressure on you to do well at school?
@@wricheshi, im not the original commenter but my parents did the same for me, so i do think im qualified to answer :)) i appreciated the opportunity a lot. private school does offer a lot more than what typical public schools can offer - excursions, societies, competitions, etc., and from the anecdotes i’ve heard from my public school friends the teachers also tend to be much better, simply because of the resources they’ve been given. there’s far more guidance available for pathways, career options, apprenticeships, university applications and things like that. of course i wanted to do well at school - my parents were paying a lot, and although they never said much about it i knew they did feel the financial pressures sometimes. was that pressure on me to do well at school? perhaps, but it was more self-induced than anything. i learned to be grateful and what’s driving me right now to earn a degree at UCL is the fact that i have to repay my parents for everything they’ve done for me, although this may be more of a cultural thing since i’m asian. i want to do well and earn money to help them back in later life, but my parents didn’t pressure me themselves - in fact, i’ve found that the more pressure parents put on their children, the more stress the children go under. personally i’ve never had this problem because all the “pressure” (though it was more determination than anything) came from myself. the dynamic doesn’t surface solely from the educational opportunities your children are given. u need to guide them, be patient with them, even when they do things that are wrong. inform them when an action or decision has to be made and why u acted or chose the way u did. they will learn their life lessons from these things. most importantly DO NOT berate them for erring - teach them why they were wrong, logically. even if they rebel they will always understand u eventually. remember it’s “guide” them, “lead” them, not “command” them. don’t shield them from the world or push them towards the frontlines to tackle everything on their own. bring them to explore the world with u and guide them in forming their own informed worldview towards the universe in the process. they will not be carbon copies of you, and they don’t need to be. let them explore themselves and the world and this will make them shine above all else. i hope this helps !!
@@wrichesmore pressure. Not just from the peers but parents whether they say it or not. Coz you know it's expensive and your parents have to work really hard to put you there. If you want to send them there, ensure that you do your best to be their best friend or it can be a very isolating experience to be poor in private school. Teach them confidence and acceptance of things. They'll need that a lot. I was not able to get my own phone but my classmates almost all used the latest iPhone back then. That's just one instance but hope you get the gist
This is definitely very real for me. My mom sends my two brothers to public school (tbf they didn’t like our private school that much but still) and me to a private school, and she recently told me it’s because she wants to give me the best education she can because I’m really smart. I honestly wish she hadn’t told me that because now I just feel extra pressure to perform well (not even that, just to be smart because sometimes it feels like I’m no smarter than anyone else)
Are you sure about that? There are states that don't even have property taxes. My state spends an absurd amount on education that is pulled from the generally revenue of the state.
Finlay's an exception from the rule. You only need to take one look at the Conservative Party in the UK to see why people REALLY hate privately funded schools.

This narrative rich kids are all arrogant Bastards and poor kids are all nice down to earth people is nonsense, you get nice rich kids just like you get asshole working class kids. @@EmanDeMoan
I went to a private high school and I am 100% proud to say so. It was a wonderful place, and it opened up the world to me. One of the best things that ever happened to me.
I was a rich kid and I still definitely get along better with people from poorer families. They're nicer, they're more interesting, and they will have your back 100%
Where do you live? My experience has been the exact opposite, a lot of fight and bully in public schools and when I moved everyone was the nicest person ever, always got your back
Yea if you're raised in a financially struggling family you tend to have more empathy and perspective tbh, but it also affects you into your adulthood. No matter how much money I have in my savings account, I still feel guilty every time I spend money even on small things like a nice dinner or a new purse 😢
@@fos1451 I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've certainly had bullies in school so maybe I'm being overly generous, but a lot of my friends grew up poor
@@EmanDeMoan really? It really depends on the location, I would hardly disagree with what you said. Those who are financially struggling in my experience have the mindset of not caring about what others are facing because they think they have greater issue. Conversely, those who are rich, practically have nothing to lose to be nice and help, they have the means and time, so why wouldn’t they?
I went to private school very briefly and I was shocked by how much state school kids disliked me when they found that out lol. Like it's not my fault haha
I went to a grammar school until 6th form and you get treated like private school kids by state school kids and you get treated like a state school kid by private school kids 😭 and both just think you’re a nerd but then I went to a college and it was so different 💀
@@sun_cattle5008 because your American, this is all talking about the uk. You are confused because private school means rich school here and state school kids are the ‘poor’ ones
Combined Science GCSE involves learning Physics, Biology and Chemistry, but in less detail than the individual subjects, and only counts for 2 GCSEs instead of 3.
Probably go to a public school in a higher income area. My public school is much better than most because the people around the school are rich but public schools in poorer areas are much worse.
I went to a school that was privately owned, but it wasn't fancy, it was more of a small community school. The entire student body was 40ish people. The education was great, you never got ignored by the teacher, but the kids? Awful, it was like living in a small village, if you did 1 dumb thing everyone knew and bullied you.
Can confirm. As someone who used to go to public school but then switched to private, when someone asked me which school I went to it went from: Me: “I go to (public school name).” “Oh I know that school!” To Me: “I go to (private school name)….” “Which school is that?” Me: “It’s a… private school in (town).” “Oh? Why don’t you go to public school?” Me: (internally panicking because of adhd and autism and because I don’t want them to think bad of me)
My parents put me in private school and homeschooled me to make sure I had the highest quality education available. They put me in formal public speaking tournaments, various education co-ops, everything they could to make sure I came out educated, socialized, well-rounded, and prepared for college. They were *not* rich, they just sacrificed a lot for my sister and I, and saved every penny they could. I hope that, once I'm established in my own career as an engineer, I can help them the same way they helped me. Edit: spelling errors. I'm not that great at typing on a phone keyboard.
@untrainedassassin807 In terms of other opportunities, I had a more flexible schedule for my normal classes, which allowed me to take dual enrollment classes at a local community college. Those classes gave me more than 30 college credits to take with me to a four year university, and I was able to finish a dual STEM major degree in four years. On top of that, I was able to participate in formal public speaking tournaments, which gave me much more experience than usual in public speaking, researching, and writing documents/papers. In terms of the stigma against private school and homeschooling, I have definitely experienced some, but honestly most people are more curious than anything else.
@untrainedassassin807I'm from the opposite end of the spectrum kinda. My parents never gave me that many opportunities, but I managed to get a massive scholarship to study at a private school. Best advice I can give from someone currently in uni: encourage your child to do anything he wants. Give him lots of activities to do. If he seems interested in something, FULLY support him. If it doesn't work out, he'll still realize you'll have his back and keep trying new stuff.
I was put in the cheapest private school in a shitty area, so it's interesting - if I go back home everyone knows I'm private schooled but in nicer areas or the city, people think I've just been through their (better) public education system
this is so true like I’m actually scared to tell ppl I went to private school because they always assume I went to state schools and talk down about private school ppl SO MUCH like I was actually shocked
People are ashamed of going to private schools because they don’t want to admit the advantages they’ve had in life, it’s easier to pretend like it never happened and be quietly ashamed than admit it gave you an advantage and have to do any introspection. Class tensions have always been bad in the UK, and just hearing the word private school puts a sour taste in my mouth… I did have a laugh at the end though, yah got me hahaha
getting a sour taste in your mouth simply because someone had an advantage you didn't isn't healthy way to look at the world. What about advantages you have that others don't? i mean there are millions of kids in the world who don't have access to any education at all should they be sour at you then?
@@sponish0i’m so sick of ppl who do the ‘yeah u might be suffering but there’s ppl who are worse off so don’t complain!’ cos shut up???? ppl are allowed to complain about injustices/issues in their own lives
we are not talking about injustic/suffering or issues here though we are talking about being bitter and angry simple because someone else has an advantage over you... if you have that thinking you will be sour and angry your whole life as there will always be people who have things you don't.@@niniwatches
@@sponish0 and why do think that bitterness exists dummy? because those who go to private schools are generally from middle class/well off families. and in a country like the uk where class division is a huge problem these definitely affect us in our day to day lives. theres an institutional bias towards middle and upper class people. are these not injustices to u? let working class people be angry about this and piss off.
What about people who’s parents had to suffer to get them into the private school and who had school funds but are still considered ‘privileged’ and ‘rich’ by people who make lousy assumptions of them.
It's because admitting you went to private school exposes the lie that we live in a meritocracy, and no-one (especially not people who are, on average, better off) wants to draw attention to the fact that the relative comfort they enjoy isn't "earned", but is in fact at least partially the result of just being born to richer parents.
Depends what you mean, many factors go into success, many of those are not under our control, does that invalidate the whole achievement as 'unearned' as you rather broadly put it. Two parent households also produce better outcomes, but the kid plays no part in that, does that mean a state school kid from a stable home is also fair game for you because he had no involvement in his stable parents which partly created his success?
A yay for German Private School 🙌 which is still free. Public school = government funded and not allowed to turn down applications Private school = receive private funds from ex. an organisation, institution like the church, on top of the government funding and they are allowed to be selective about their applicants But essentially as long as you have good grades, even if you are dirt poor, you can still attend private school
“They don’t pay taxes” Oh, so NOW we know how they were able to afford it! Seriously though, I go to a private Catholic school in America that my dad was able to earn the money for because he worked his way up to be the VP of marketing at a company for 20 years so now he has a six-figure income that he uses to pay for a private Catholic high school education for ALL of his ELEVEN CHILDREN. People are straight up judging me for the fact that my parents worked hard! Like they think we’re cocky bastards or something. People be making me feel bad for having good parents.
I Don’t tell people I went to private school anymore because they ask if I’m rich (we’re not, that’s why I don’t go anymore) or if I’m homophobic because it was catholic school. Great times.
@@shouldntgivename3994 Private school really ain't that different. Sure, the facilities and school per se are better but generally when you're a kid/teen you don't give a shit about that, all you want is to get out of there and go home, no matter how nice the school is 😂
When you’re a teacher… I can tell you… they don’t like them either. Parents feel that because they are paying- they are also paying the grade. Entitlement …. I’ll say it again- entitlement . Now, are all the kids like this- no. But the bitterness comes from the fact we have seen the issues that are raised from these schools.

Besides the social situations where people find out which school you went to, how did you find this dynamic with your parents? Did it make you appreciate the opportunity more, or did it heap more pressure on you to do well at school?
@@wricheshi, im not the original commenter but my parents did the same for me, so i do think im qualified to answer :))
i appreciated the opportunity a lot. private school does offer a lot more than what typical public schools can offer - excursions, societies, competitions, etc., and from the anecdotes i’ve heard from my public school friends the teachers also tend to be much better, simply because of the resources they’ve been given. there’s far more guidance available for pathways, career options, apprenticeships, university applications and things like that.
of course i wanted to do well at school - my parents were paying a lot, and although they never said much about it i knew they did feel the financial pressures sometimes. was that pressure on me to do well at school? perhaps, but it was more self-induced than anything. i learned to be grateful and what’s driving me right now to earn a degree at UCL is the fact that i have to repay my parents for everything they’ve done for me, although this may be more of a cultural thing since i’m asian. i want to do well and earn money to help them back in later life, but my parents didn’t pressure me themselves - in fact, i’ve found that the more pressure parents put on their children, the more stress the children go under. personally i’ve never had this problem because all the “pressure” (though it was more determination than anything) came from myself.
the dynamic doesn’t surface solely from the educational opportunities your children are given. u need to guide them, be patient with them, even when they do things that are wrong. inform them when an action or decision has to be made and why u acted or chose the way u did. they will learn their life lessons from these things. most importantly DO NOT berate them for erring - teach them why they were wrong, logically. even if they rebel they will always understand u eventually.
remember it’s “guide” them, “lead” them, not “command” them. don’t shield them from the world or push them towards the frontlines to tackle everything on their own. bring them to explore the world with u and guide them in forming their own informed worldview towards the universe in the process. they will not be carbon copies of you, and they don’t need to be. let them explore themselves and the world and this will make them shine above all else.
i hope this helps !!
@@wrichesmore pressure. Not just from the peers but parents whether they say it or not. Coz you know it's expensive and your parents have to work really hard to put you there. If you want to send them there, ensure that you do your best to be their best friend or it can be a very isolating experience to be poor in private school. Teach them confidence and acceptance of things. They'll need that a lot. I was not able to get my own phone but my classmates almost all used the latest iPhone back then. That's just one instance but hope you get the gist
@@raishayafiaah1791 Thank you, I really appreciate the advice!
This is definitely very real for me. My mom sends my two brothers to public school (tbf they didn’t like our private school that much but still) and me to a private school, and she recently told me it’s because she wants to give me the best education she can because I’m really smart. I honestly wish she hadn’t told me that because now I just feel extra pressure to perform well (not even that, just to be smart because sometimes it feels like I’m no smarter than anyone else)
"They paid your school with their taxes"😅..."they dont pay taxes"😂😂😂😂😂
In America our private schools are usually just as bad as public schools
They exist for sports
Rich schools = more expensive drugs
Yea, and the private schools are often religious schools. It's the magnet schools that I think look impressive.
In America all the private school kids are woke communists lol
@@Dave-mx8xz of course the important question is did the private schools cause that or did the family wealth cause both
I almost thought that was a dead crowd, but thank God, it wasn't
That last joke really brought the whole thing together lmao
Your comedy keeps getting better and better man. Big stages for you.
Here in america public schools are funded locally by property taxes, so the high tax bracket people often don’t even pay for the public schools!
Are you sure about that? There are states that don't even have property taxes.
My state spends an absurd amount on education that is pulled from the generally revenue of the state.
@@nicford1486 There are no states without property tax. Also I’m talking about local school district property tax
@@phillapple8260 I see. Also I may have gotten confused with property vs state income tax
Bro my friends constantly give me shit bc I used to go to a private school before switching to public😭💀
The super rich don’t pay tax 😂
Private schools remind us of how elitist capitalism is.
His smile tho, too genuine 😂
This is an awesome set my guy
"In your combined science"😂
That set was too good for that audience. That was solid gold. No wonder they didn't recognize its value.
They seemed to enjoy it. This was an intentionally uncomfortable bit, but otherwise was it that bad?
@@mud6992this was a joke that flew above the top of your head
Finlay's an exception from the rule. You only need to take one look at the Conservative Party in the UK to see why people REALLY hate privately funded schools.
Yeah, because Labour totally has zero private school educated members 😂 Maybe you should leave the 1970s political cheap shots to history?
@@Novarchareskexactly it's such a strange thing too be annoyed at lol
No looking at britain only showes brainwashed morons onvinced by a party that pandered ro communists for decades a group known to lie and manipulate to encurage violent revelutions
nah there's private school then private public school the difference is immense, most people i know out of private school have since become either very left wing or they're closest af
@@daftravenn9913 it is incredibly redundant to make wide sweeping statements of an entire school system based on personal interactions but sure go ahead
That was brilliant 😂
Went to state school, studied physics, chemistry and biology. Only the lower classes studied "combined science"
Everyone I know who was privately educated is confident and outgoing af 😂
Wait till life hits them lol
@@EmanDeMoanNever does sadly
@@yolanda6392 lol yeah they've always got a cushiony trust fund and two parent private road household to fall back on
@@yolanda6392 That's such a sad outlook on life. 'Never does sadly' really? You're telling me just because someone was born richer than you means they deserve to be hit by the worst of life? By that logic we should all be six feet under just because of all the kids in third world countries that don't even have a hundredth of the facilities and advantages we do.
@@uzairellahi9596 It's sad for us working class people because we are always affected by the actions of people richer than us. Money is power and we don't have much of it. Having said that, I do think you're looking a bit too deep into what I said.
ive had ppl genuinely be surprised that im nice after I've mentioned going to a private school 💀 lads i only went to a private school bc im a foster kid and the government was paying for it PLEASE
Youve never known struggle or bloodlust
And that's probably why you're nice. Most rich kids I know are idiots who think they're smart and empathetic.
Yeah ppl should say rich kids, not private school kids. Private school kids are a mixed bunch, can’t be grouped into one thing
@@EmanDeMoanwent to a private school with a fuckton of hella rich kids, its not the money, its the way we were brought up, my parents never bought me anything other than the bare minimum of clothes and shoes and they got a lot of money, they told me i had to earn it, just like when i misbehaved, i was punished, harshly too, but some kids were gifted a brand new jeep for their 17 birth day and shi, they were arrogant.
This narrative rich kids are all arrogant Bastards and poor kids are all nice down to earth people is nonsense, you get nice rich kids just like you get asshole working class kids. @@EmanDeMoan
Man called us dumb and poor all in under a minute 😂
I went to a private high school and I am 100% proud to say so. It was a wonderful place, and it opened up the world to me. One of the best things that ever happened to me.
Golden!😂😂😂
I was a rich kid and I still definitely get along better with people from poorer families. They're nicer, they're more interesting, and they will have your back 100%
Where do you live? My experience has been the exact opposite, a lot of fight and bully in public schools and when I moved everyone was the nicest person ever, always got your back
Yea if you're raised in a financially struggling family you tend to have more empathy and perspective tbh, but it also affects you into your adulthood. No matter how much money I have in my savings account, I still feel guilty every time I spend money even on small things like a nice dinner or a new purse 😢
@@fos1451 I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I've certainly had bullies in school so maybe I'm being overly generous, but a lot of my friends grew up poor
@@EmanDeMoan that sucks :( I'm sorry
@@EmanDeMoan really? It really depends on the location, I would hardly disagree with what you said. Those who are financially struggling in my experience have the mindset of not caring about what others are facing because they think they have greater issue. Conversely, those who are rich, practically have nothing to lose to be nice and help, they have the means and time, so why wouldn’t they?
biggest joke there is that i did biology in my state school, and my friend did combined science in his private school.
Private school kid here: Yes I'm deeply ashamed
That said I also went to public school so I'm also quite cocky...
I went to private school very briefly and I was shocked by how much state school kids disliked me when they found that out lol. Like it's not my fault haha
As someone who almost went to a private school but my parents decided against it, I am semi-ashamed.
the BARK of laughter that i let out at the last delivery LMAOOOOOO
this has to be one of my favourite bits of all time
Hated every minute of private school it’s so so shite
Same
But did you go to a boarding school like me...
@@nickevershedmusic8927literal hell lmao
Mine was awesome. Not all schools are the same.
@@JacenSolo0 yup. Especially when you got bullied
I went to a grammar school until 6th form and you get treated like private school kids by state school kids and you get treated like a state school kid by private school kids 😭 and both just think you’re a nerd but then I went to a college and it was so different 💀
Did you feel like a normal person within your school?
Can I ask where you were cause my state had the exact opposite experience and this short is confusing the fuck out of me
@@sun_cattle5008 because your American, this is all talking about the uk. You are confused because private school means rich school here and state school kids are the ‘poor’ ones
He looks like Erling Haaland's little brother who took up stand up instead of football 😂.
“They don’t pay taxes”
Relatable
Combined science??? What is THAT? I go to public school but we have all the sciences separately 😅
Combined Science GCSE involves learning Physics, Biology and Chemistry, but in less detail than the individual subjects, and only counts for 2 GCSEs instead of 3.
Probably go to a public school in a higher income area. My public school is much better than most because the people around the school are rich but public schools in poorer areas are much worse.
I went to a school that was privately owned, but it wasn't fancy, it was more of a small community school. The entire student body was 40ish people. The education was great, you never got ignored by the teacher, but the kids? Awful, it was like living in a small village, if you did 1 dumb thing everyone knew and bullied you.
Can confirm. As someone who used to go to public school but then switched to private, when someone asked me which school I went to it went from:
Me: “I go to (public school name).”
“Oh I know that school!”
To
Me: “I go to (private school name)….”
“Which school is that?”
Me: “It’s a… private school in (town).”
“Oh? Why don’t you go to public school?”
Me: (internally panicking because of adhd and autism and because I don’t want them to think bad of me)
So you went from a private school to another private school?
I'm gonna visit this bit when I'm 30❤
My parents put me in private school and homeschooled me to make sure I had the highest quality education available. They put me in formal public speaking tournaments, various education co-ops, everything they could to make sure I came out educated, socialized, well-rounded, and prepared for college.
They were *not* rich, they just sacrificed a lot for my sister and I, and saved every penny they could.
I hope that, once I'm established in my own career as an engineer, I can help them the same way they helped me.
Edit: spelling errors. I'm not that great at typing on a phone keyboard.
@untrainedassassin807 In terms of other opportunities, I had a more flexible schedule for my normal classes, which allowed me to take dual enrollment classes at a local community college. Those classes gave me more than 30 college credits to take with me to a four year university, and I was able to finish a dual STEM major degree in four years. On top of that, I was able to participate in formal public speaking tournaments, which gave me much more experience than usual in public speaking, researching, and writing documents/papers.
In terms of the stigma against private school and homeschooling, I have definitely experienced some, but honestly most people are more curious than anything else.
neeeerd (I'm just joking)
@untrainedassassin807I'm from the opposite end of the spectrum kinda. My parents never gave me that many opportunities, but I managed to get a massive scholarship to study at a private school. Best advice I can give from someone currently in uni: encourage your child to do anything he wants. Give him lots of activities to do. If he seems interested in something, FULLY support him. If it doesn't work out, he'll still realize you'll have his back and keep trying new stuff.
Same here
I was put in the cheapest private school in a shitty area, so it's interesting - if I go back home everyone knows I'm private schooled but in nicer areas or the city, people think I've just been through their (better) public education system
Nice stand-up bit that, well written and good timing and delivery
this is so true like I’m actually scared to tell ppl I went to private school because they always assume I went to state schools and talk down about private school ppl SO MUCH like I was actually shocked
but why do they hate private school kids?
Private school students are ashamed because they know us state school students will rip them a new one lol
Not really
Why would you rip them a new one?
i mean thats a pretty good reason to keep to themselves then if you are going to attack them just because they have more money than you
I went to both and honestly I prefer the non-violence
hey man i just wanted 2 let u know uve been growing a lot lately and its been rly cool seeing ur stand up act improve so much !! keep at it dawg !!!
That face was gettting reeeeed at the funny parts 😂. This guys pretty funny
Risking your life there, friend 😂😂😂😂😂
People are ashamed of going to private schools because they don’t want to admit the advantages they’ve had in life, it’s easier to pretend like it never happened and be quietly ashamed than admit it gave you an advantage and have to do any introspection. Class tensions have always been bad in the UK, and just hearing the word private school puts a sour taste in my mouth…
I did have a laugh at the end though, yah got me hahaha
getting a sour taste in your mouth simply because someone had an advantage you didn't isn't healthy way to look at the world. What about advantages you have that others don't? i mean there are millions of kids in the world who don't have access to any education at all should they be sour at you then?
@@sponish0i’m so sick of ppl who do the ‘yeah u might be suffering but there’s ppl who are worse off so don’t complain!’ cos shut up???? ppl are allowed to complain about injustices/issues in their own lives
we are not talking about injustic/suffering or issues here though we are talking about being bitter and angry simple because someone else has an advantage over you... if you have that thinking you will be sour and angry your whole life as there will always be people who have things you don't.@@niniwatches
@@sponish0 and why do think that bitterness exists dummy? because those who go to private schools are generally from middle class/well off families. and in a country like the uk where class division is a huge problem these definitely affect us in our day to day lives. theres an institutional bias towards middle and upper class people. are these not injustices to u? let working class people be angry about this and piss off.
What about people who’s parents had to suffer to get them into the private school and who had school funds but are still considered ‘privileged’ and ‘rich’ by people who make lousy assumptions of them.
I felt that ‘combined science’
This set was perfection 😂😂😂
"it's in your biology"

The last line 😂😂
It's because admitting you went to private school exposes the lie that we live in a meritocracy, and no-one (especially not people who are, on average, better off) wants to draw attention to the fact that the relative comfort they enjoy isn't "earned", but is in fact at least partially the result of just being born to richer parents.
Depends what you mean, many factors go into success, many of those are not under our control, does that invalidate the whole achievement as 'unearned' as you rather broadly put it. Two parent households also produce better outcomes, but the kid plays no part in that, does that mean a state school kid from a stable home is also fair game for you because he had no involvement in his stable parents which partly created his success?
Not outright meritocracy but it's a million times better tan the alternative.
A yay for German Private School 🙌 which is still free.
Public school = government funded and not allowed to turn down applications
Private school = receive private funds from ex. an organisation, institution like the church, on top of the government funding and they are allowed to be selective about their applicants
But essentially as long as you have good grades, even if you are dirt poor, you can still attend private school
and by "hard-wired" to hate we mean "deeply propagandized" har har har
“They don’t pay taxes”
Oh, so NOW we know how they were able to afford it!
Seriously though, I go to a private Catholic school in America that my dad was able to earn the money for because he worked his way up to be the VP of marketing at a company for 20 years so now he has a six-figure income that he uses to pay for a private Catholic high school education for ALL of his ELEVEN CHILDREN. People are straight up judging me for the fact that my parents worked hard! Like they think we’re cocky bastards or something. People be making me feel bad for having good parents.
I Don’t tell people I went to private school anymore because they ask if I’m rich (we’re not, that’s why I don’t go anymore) or if I’m homophobic because it was catholic school. Great times.
Ah this explains everything lmao. Ofc this dude is privately educated....

I went to grammar school... which is essentially state school acting private. No combined science.

When you’re a teacher… I can tell you… they don’t like them either. Parents feel that because they are paying- they are also paying the grade. Entitlement …. I’ll say it again- entitlement . Now, are all the kids like this- no. But the bitterness comes from the fact we have seen the issues that are raised from these schools.
