      There are some amazing schools doing just that for kids from those backgrounds right now. But yes, of course being a middle class kid makes it FAR easier. But that isn’t the same as being “privileged” in the way that was originally being implied.

      Given that tens of millions of Britons are middle class, that’s a hell of a lot of privileged people.

      On that definition, more than half the population is privileged. Anyone whose parents aren’t penniless alcoholics is privileged by comparison to those whose parents are. We all live on a spectrum. Your definition is dumb.

      Flattered that you think I came up with the definition. Privilege is relative and can easily be a case of the majority having privileges that the minority don’t. In fact, it is often so. See: white people vs POC, straight vs LGBTQ people. This is basic stuff.

      Dear god, this is painful. If half the country is privilged just like me, why doesn’t half the country go to the top two universities? What other selection criteria are being used, do you think?

      Well we agree on it being painful. No one is saying it’s the only criterion. What they are saying (and what you admitted yourself a few tweets up ffs) is that getting into Oxford is easier if you are middle class. That is privilege.

      It was easier because I had parents who cared about education & were aspirational. Nothing to stop any parent from doing that, as stats on high achievement of kids of low income immigrant families testify. Not privilege in the sense that was being implied, ie. money & contacts.

          You may have been intelligent but I’m sure there would have been some far more intelligent teens who, because of their working class backgrounds, were rejected from Oxford. This to me is privilege.

          All research shows that poverty including poor housing, poor nutrition etc impacts on educational acheivement. All the things increasing under tories as cuts bite. It’s not aspiration it’s opportunity.

          As a teacher in an inner city school, the fact that your parents care about education and being aspirational counts for nothing. The same opportunities just aren't there for these children. That is a basic and honest fact. I wouldn't expect you to understand, I really wouldn't.

          Children don't get to choose their parents. Being born to parents who care enough about their children's future to do what yours did, *is* privilege. It's privilege because a) it makes a huge difference to their future, and b) not everyone gets it.

          If your family support you, it is easier. It is not easy for those young people who grow up in poverty, are young carers, experience abuse etc. I was privileged in my education but not my background. I acknowledge that... why can't you?
