When I first learnt of Eton College at the age of about twelve I couldn't believe a small number of boys of my age were going to have such an education. I did not want to believe and I just could not believe such a School was going to continue for my generation too. Just as it had done so for countless generations of boys before us. I simply couldn't understand why all the parents and all the adults wanted it to continue. Couldn't they see how unfair and unjust this was? Couldn't they see how such schools were going to perpetuate inequality in society? Couldn't they see that the class system was going to continue if you allow some boys to have such an advantage and privilege within education? It is difficult to explain, and as a teenager I never thought I would say this, but as you become older you slowly begin to see for yourself the important role a School like Eton plays in education. You begin to understand and also to acknowledge the invaluable and incalculable role such a School plays in educating each generation. Above all else you begin to see how special it would be if it continued. Not only for the next generation. But also for the future generations of boys who will follow after them.
I don't think Eton is the problem. The education system is for treating children who attend public schools as if they are unworthy of quality education. Eton doesn't have to stoop down, public schools need to step up. And we need both teachers and parents to do that, but sadly the majority of them lack the courage to fight for their rights...
Hot posh Eton boys!!!
I recognised Peter Norton, Paddy Valentine, a Greek boy, a KS in the block below me

What a waste of time & money dressing up like a Dickens character. Both my lads went to grammar, then Cambridge and now they're investment bankers.
Congratulations your sons did good and now they work for Eton and Westminster Students.
Thanks for the comment Bill. Nobody really cares about ur opinion. Or your sons for that matter.
@@ralphcotton7119 Exactly.
Perhaps your grandsons will attend such institutions.
