I went to a private school until I went to college and all the people who ended up granted scholarships for the 6th form were just people who/whose parents wanted to brag about getting one (despite them being very rich and clearly not needing it). I have a general issue with private education but regardless this seems so unethical to me, taking money from someone who needs itThank you, the 'scholarship' thing drives me mad. Private schools give out tiny 'scholarships' (which are 'merit based', not needs based) to loads of their students so that they can claim charitable status and say things like 'actually, over half of our pupils recieve financial assistance!' which doesn't at all mean they are giving full scholarships to kids who can't actually afford it. It's a couple of hundred quid here and there (off tens of thousands of pounds in fees), for kids whose parents can afford it anyway. And the oxford choral scholarship is just £400/year to anyone who sings in the choir - she lost it anyway because she left the choir.
is this "QVC segment" in her stories about TALA products? either way I found it so cringe, and her comment at the beginning "if I want to speak about something I will" sounded pretty pass agg to me
