I agree with you. As a tween I went to private school for a while as I won a scholarship. There were also some other kids who had the appearance of being working class, presumably due to coming from wealthy families who used to be working class. No one was treated differently, and there was no snobbery from the kids. Kids don’t think about class. (Actually, most adults don’t think about it much either, except obsessive like Jack). I didn’t have much interaction with parents but from what I saw, they were fine, too.She is so full of bullshit!! I've just watched up to the point where she mentioned not having rich Grammar School schoolfriends back to her home and I got so mad that I had to go and pour a large glass of wine. My children went to independent schools for which we scrimped and saved (despite bursaries), going without new clothes and doing without holidays for years and years. Our last family holiday was when they were under 10 years old, but they had very happy childhoods and had great relationships with their schoolfriends. Yes, some of the schoolfriends travelled by private plane, one even had a private island in Greece!! The majority of their friends came from families wealthier than ours, but some didn't. The mother of one of my son's friends was a cleaner. The father of another friend was a diamond trader. Their schools were in outer London/Essex. I took some of the rich friends to Pontins on a Sun voucher. Others stayed in my parents caravan in Clacton. All the kids got along just fine. She is talking absolute bollocks.
Oh, and I became friends with lots of the parents and we socialised despite our very different circumstances. All this garbage makes me puke!
Jackie is fabricating the differences between her and her peers. “Didn’t have much” my arse. She had a damn sight more than most kids in this country. She’s just spoiled as hell and thinks “poverty” is not being a polo playing member of the landed gentry. Only she could try to twist a grammar school education into pov cosplay.
