[QUOTE="beefandsleep, post: 7580418, member: 4148"] Confidence, arrogance, lifetime expectations, self belief, entitlement, call it what you will. Private schools encourage a culture of success and competition both academic and sporting. Some state schools do this also but too few and there is far too much inverted snobbery in many state schools where children are dragged down if they dare to have ideas above their station. There are no limits put on the ambitions of private school pupils, no one will laugh or call you a nerd or posh boy if you say you want to be a surgeon or the prime minister. The point about the parents is obviously true and private schools are full of positive role models in well paid professions so even if your dad is a peasant like myself you are unlikely to limit your ambitions to following in his footsteps, and if you do you’ll make sure you’re the best damn peasant there ever was.
