No, definitely not. He will be referred to by staff just as Windsor, Cambridge or possibly Wales and from his class members :point_right: whatever they decide to label him with. . . perhaps filthy rich LOL

Aren’t they all who go to Eton?

Quite possibly. It’s not about the quality of ā€œeducationā€ anyway, it’s the networking that matters.

Our dad was a postman, so couldn’t afford Eton fees for us (not that he wanted to anyway!)
The local mixed comprehensive was fine and had some excellent teachers - my older brother went on to have a medical career, until his too early death at the age of 52.
It’s all down to the standard of teaching really.

Private / paid schools should be banned - there should be one education system that is based on principles of equality - where ALL children get an equal education.

I think religious schools should be banned as well.

The rich over educated posh gits have no love for the working man/woman, why would they, they live in a different world to the majority.

That’s an interesting concept. What do you mean by ā€œequalā€? And what do you mean by ā€œeducationā€?

Having taught in comprehensive schools and (after retiring from school teaching), tutored pupils/students
from state as well as private schools, I can attest to the somewhat curious fact that the quality of teaching in private schools sometimes seems substandard compared to state schools.
