Etonians - some of these boys may be exceptionally dim
Study shows private school students in a bad light.
A recent report has shown that independent schools offer a higher standard of education than state schools.
David Jesson, an education evaluator based in York University, writes, “A C grade student from a a state school would get an A at an independent school. It follows therefore that a student with an E from an independent school would achieve a G at a state school. And as G’s don’t even exist, E grade students must be phenomenally thick.”
Some educationists believe that these low-achievers are “worth less than zero” since an examination paper without any correct answers would be awarded an E.
Philosopher Randolph Scaramacci mused, “We are looking very hard at the question as to whether these students really actually do exist at all in real terms. Inconfundibly, they do exist, per say sic at nihilundum, in the independent school sphere, yet existence on the whole is a turnip.”
The report also concludes that Prince Harry’s D at A level equates to a Z in state schools.
Its my opinion that it doesnt really matter where you are educated (with the exception of tremendously bad schools)- its almost always down to the individual.
