can I be so honest my patience with the "I went to private school and noticed how much better it was but I am virtuous despite it (I promise!)" reblogs on this post is wearing very thin. I don't care that you noticed the injustice of it all on account of being so far ahead of every state educated pupil you knew. As one of those state educated pupils, you are no better than me nor anyone else who went to state school. The fact you still feel you have to ensure everyone knows your position and where you went to school indicates how superficial your commitment to this point is. You are all just another reason why this has to go.
