Tonight, I watched, a documentary charting the history of a private school noted for its fine English musical heritage with links to Royalty and Church. Canterbury.
So why on earth would watching this make me sad or is it really that I an inwardly annoyed and envious that my own education was so very different.
Don't misunderstand me, I did well with my comprehensive education and I would say that everything I have achieved has been done so with real effort. All gains through battle and true merit against the social group I have been born into.
The programme in question showed how the next generation of high earners were educated at costs of 24k a year, excessive but the end results are marvellous - these pupils are guaranteed to enter jobs or professions the rest of Britain dreams about.
Where does this leave you if your back ground is working class, I'm not saying you won't succeed but your chances are thin as the battle between class and priviledge rages on today.

you probable feel sad because you were stuck in watching telly instead of out doing something exciting or having fun or it could be that you watched a program about a school full of toffee nosed rich kids born with silver spoons in their mouths who never appreciate anything they have and even though they dont try very hard will propable walk into a great carer with there daddy's help and money. its hard not to get depressed when you see how unfair things can be.

I think you felt sad because you never had the opportunity when you were growing up.
I didn't either.
What gets me pissed off is that I am always trying to get somewhere. Pushing myself to achieve something, and I get knocked back time and time again, by people who's biggest aspiration in life is to get to the pub on time for happy hour.

Yes, because of the problems of life, such as disappointment, stress, you name it.
