The Weird Kid In ClassThere was a kid in my class who stood up every day and told everyone he had new shoes. This went on for weeks, and we all thought him nuts. Then, one day, he stood up and told us a long story about why his family were moving to another part of the country, and how excited he was. The next thing we heard was that he'd died in a plane crash.
Let's hear about the weird kid in your class...

To belms"Grammar schools are not bastions of the middle class. Those are public schools.
Grammar schools are for smart people, regardless of social standing."
Providing those smart people could afford to go to grammar school, seeing as most of them charge up to a grand a year. I know several people, myself included, that could have walked into a grammar school had mummy and daddy been rich enough to pay for it. As it stands, they weren't, which is why I ended up going to a really shitty state school, which ritualistically patronised me into having nothing but contempt for the education system.
Put simply, if you can afford to send your kds to a grammar school, then you're probably middle class.
