OMG, to my American ears, these kids accents are sooooo cooool lol. Waay nicer than upper-class English accents these days (and far easier to understand).
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.
No, that's exactly what keeps this society running. Can't you see how such elements of privilege and class act as objects of commonality's aspiration, and goad them to work harder? Human society cannot function without inequality. I work hard and study more and more so as to ride above the public. Instead of deracinating quality education, ameliorate state-funded institutes. Eton must exist for me and countless others, and for people in general, to aim higher and rise more. Eton doesn't care from where you come or what your familial background is, as long as you have money. The solution is simple: work hard for money and be stable on your own.
@@innociduousnepheliad8140 The premise of this argument assumes that people with little money don’t work hard, and that getting into higher society is as easy as simply working hard. This is simply untrue, inequality needing to exist in a society is completely untrue, if inequality exists by that very nature no matter how hard you work you will never be able to get to that higher standing in society.
@@michaelterrell5061 In order to have an equal society, one must relinquish complete control to the state and wait in line for their proportioned handout. All life on earth is unique, no 2 rose bushes produce exactly the same flower, not all dogs can perform clever tricks and not all people can manage trillion dollar budgets or perform brain surgery. A government, no matter how benevolent can not bring every citizen up-to an Eaton standard of education but with sufficient brutality they can bring the standard of living down for everyone equally.
It is what it is , I would argue in the lottery of life I got lucky to be born in Scotland ; receive an education , following by a lot of hard graft for the NHS, then a fully funded University degree , which enabled me as a mature student to go on and become a registered Nurse. It would be wrong to hold a grudge that others have had better opportunities than me, when for every person like myself their are 1000s of ppl around the world that would jump into my shoes. So good luck to them is what I say , takes all types to keep a countries wheels turning.

I went to eton and there is still an aire of poshness but a lot of the snobbery has been fazed out
