This is a quite spectacularly banal point. The whole point of private schools is that they're not open. Hence the name.https://twitter.com/tpgcolson/status/1105077816935227392 …

I say Susie and yourself are both correct, nepotism is rife but so are parents who don't give a flying fart about their child's behaviour.....

I don't think the nepotism thing is as significant as you think. The advantages I gained from my own education have not included entry into an old boys network in all industries. And, shock horror, most parents want the best for their children.

No it is quite bad, bad is the wrong word, let's use common instead..... and of course parents want the best for their kids. Hey if I could get my kids into Eton and use the contacts to parachute them into top jobs..... I would. I personally don't hold it against them...

Eton is a tiny percentage of the total of children at private schools. Nepotism isn't such a big thing. And the comment about most parents wanting the best was in response to Julia's notion that this is a private school thing.

I used that as an easy example..... nepotism is everywhere... I have no issue with it. Ps I actually agree with most you have said. Personal ability and hunger for success shines through the majority of the time.
