I think her political views are very close to my own family’s political views. My mum’s family is very posh, but without a whole lot of money, and they’re very snobbish. They still vote either social liberal or leftist parties. People who vote right wing are definitely looked down upon. The biggest difference between our families is probably the lack of money (My family isn’t poor, just average), so we aren’t completely shut of off normal life. Oh and I’m Dutch, so private schools are not a thing at all here
I think the money make a huge difference tho! That's what politics is all about, after all. I don't know what the parties are in England. But I'm pretty sure Ruby's parents are right wingers. "Socially on the left but fiscally on the right" type of people. Wich means you are on the right lmao. People associate right wing with conservatives nowadays, and that's absolutely not what it means. We are pretty sure her dad does tax evasion right?
I don't know anything about her parents. But they give me huge vibes of people who would give money to charity but vote against a party that want to end poverty (somehow) if it means they have to give up their mansion and privilege.
The fact she went to a private school alone. And people go to private school for all reasons, my bf went to a private school because his parents are immigrants and they came to Canada to give him the best life possible, I get that (still don't agree but I get it).
But if you're rich. And believe that your kids deserve "better" education because you are rich. I find that very despicable.
I live in the french part of Canada, and Canada was first colonized (horribly yes, I'm not talking about that part) by the french, then the english. And french is the official language here. But people from english descent have HUGE (literally the priciest house in all Canada is in the english district of my province, also, one of Trudeau's minister own it lmao) generational wealth. And they have their own private school in english for primary and secondary school. Somehow they often avoid making their kids learn french. When it's the law, immigrant's kids have to learn french, it's mandatory, but english peoples's kids often avoid it because it's fine if one of the parent can speak french, we somehow assume they'll learn it at home.
And idk about where you guys live, but here, there is very little founding for the education system, teachers are always on strike, many, many schools are bordeline disgusting, kids with disabilities get little to no help if they get diagnosed at all...
Anyways. I really don't like people like Ruby, who always talk about how education is a gift and all that shit. Because it doesn't fuckin have to be Ruby, and some countries (like Germany, as you said) already have free education, it's not like a crazy socialist dream.
Why doesn't she talk about how it should be accessible to everybody instead of "such a great gift". That's fuckin annoyin.
) but employed somebody who has a severe ED and looks severely underweight to do it. I’m sure she’s great at the job but I was astounded that impressionable kids were being taught by somebody who looked so ill.
