Yeah it looks like a normal state school not a grammar school, but religious. I guess her family are religious… I wonder how the whole gay thing went down there!Coloma Convent Girls School
From what I have heard from my privately schooled friends, a lot of their parents were prepared to send them to faith-based schools as a second choice
Plus, education inequalities aren't as simple as whether your school was private or not. There are plenty of schools in very good areas that aren't private but are far better than the schools in poor areas
I don't consider it the same thing at all? I went to grammar school and whilst all of us there had to pass the 11+ to get in, it was by no means a school full of the children of rich, influential people. Of course some people there came from private schools or had private tutors, but the majority of us were just regular kids who had good input and encouragement at primary school, at home, or both. Sure there's a degree of privilege and I for one don't think grammar or private schools should even exist (education shouldn't have levels of access at all in my opinion), but they're not the same thing at all.But what kind of school did she go too? I don’t have linked in so can’t look but if she went to grammar school it’s essentially the same thing!
You would have had a significant amount of cultural capital in order to pass the 11+, you’ll find some parents will try and get their children in both, they are similar because they both require privilege, section on anything: money, Gender, religion elevates the school because you have to know the system to get into it aka being able to afford to live into the catchment area or baptising your child.

Sure, as I said there's privilege involved but speaking for myself and every single person in my friendship group, none of us were even middle class (my family and at least half the others were on benefits), none religious. You do you if you seriously think that a free grammar school that tests on academic success (again - as I've said - a privilege) is the same as a private school that costs thousands of pounds to go to, has a whole culture built around it, heavily favours applications from siblings, friends, donors. It's not the same thing. For one you need massive amounts of money or the connections to get the scholarship (or even know it exists), for the other you need the privilege to achieve well on the tests - which can at least be gained by having parents and teachers push you rather than by having direct connections. One is significantly more achievable for people with low income. Agree to disagree, I guess.You would have had a significant amount of cultural capital in order to pass the 11+, you’ll find some parents will try and get their children in both, they are similar because they both require privilege, section on anything: money, Gender, religion elevates the school because you have to know the system to get into it aka being able to afford to live into the catchment area or baptising your child.

They also potentially have better teachers and facilities too. A lot of my teachers left to teach in the local grammar school because it was simply easier from a behaviour standpointYou would have had a significant amount of cultural capital in order to pass the 11+, you’ll find some parents will try and get their children in both, they are similar because they both require privilege, section on anything: money, Gender, religion elevates the school because you have to know the system to get into it aka being able to afford to live into the catchment area or baptising your child.

Grammar school gives advantages but my god it's not the same at all. I knew a lot of people from working class backgrounds who went there, and yeah while my school send a good amount to Oxbridge and other Russel group unis every year it's less about the connections of who they know, but more about the coaching they do with the ones applying.But what kind of school did she go too?

I've worked in a lot of schools and there's a far bigger gulf between grammar and crappy comp than there is between grammar and private.You would have had a significant amount of cultural capital in order to pass the 11+, you’ll find some parents will try and get their children in both, they are similar because they both require privilege, section on anything: money, Gender, religion elevates the school because you have to know the system to get into it aka being able to afford to live into the catchment area or baptising your child.

Is that possible given the new rules?Did anyone see her story? She’s going to Paris with Eve? (I think?)
Chances are she is for travel purposes. France requires a health pass to enter some areas, and while it's possible she could be walking around without one I see it as sort of unlikelyI wonder if she’s even vaccinated
New rules started on midnight so she must have travelled yesterday before 11PM here (from what I understand anyway)Is that possible given the new rules?
Entitlement.her paris trip annoys me so much it's so irresponsible and she literally had no reason (like a family visit) to go there but had the money to spend and not enough reason to consider why it may not be such a good idea <3 why are so many influencers like this
I'm gonna disagree here and say that many people are going on holiday or have booked holidays recently, and if you can why wouldn't you? Until the last week or so there have been very minimal restrictions in terms of travelling, and whilst it may not be the best idea right now, you can't blame people for wanting to move on with their lives and get a sense of normality back.power trip. Most people even when they're moderately famous get too arrogant and start thinking they're better than 'ordinary people'. the rules don't apply to them
Minimal restrictions? What? The testing and isolation has been rumbling on for ages! It’s clear to see people who haven’t really been that defected by the pandemic carry this attitude (eve continuing to go on holiday) despite the fact she can afford not to go! It’s selfish and her and Boris can get in the bin, this oh we need to carry on attitude is bullshit, speak to some NHS workers or teacher or care staff and then ask yourself (although eve’s too selfish for this) if it’s all worth it to get “back to normal”I'm gonna disagree here and say that many people are going on holiday or have booked holidays recently, and if you can why wouldn't you?
