估计Jeremy就是觉得花大钱上私立没啥意思,所以他得出了顶楼的说法。当然这都是一家之言, 各人自有评判 ...
对于你的观点我不反对, 对是或者不是都没有想法,
我家也有那套书, 我只是想说, 楼主, 你, 把他这篇文章正好理解反了![](static/image/smiley/emot/indian.gif)
前面有人说得对, 他的文中的 Public school 是私校, State school 才是公校, 你读读他的其他文章就明白了. 他们的系统里是这样叫的
你再仔细读读他的最后一段, 注意, public school 是私校的意思,
And this brings me on to the whole point of public school. It’s not designed to make you cleverer or more likely to succeed. It’s all about ensuring your children have the happiest possible childhood.
Mine was. Conjugating verbs, the periodic table, cricket. Yeah, we did all that, but when the lessons were over I didn’t slope home to spend an evening with my parents, or in the bus shelter; it was night after night of full-on, Harry Potter-style japes and pranks. With only a light sprinkling of buggery.
This is what we seem to be forgetting with our league tables and our university selection complaints. That when you pay for a child’s education, you’re not buying jam for tomorrow. You’re buying it for today. Success in life is down to what sort of person you are, and not how many chemical symbols you can remember or how casually you can toss a V-neck over your shoulders. Put a dunderhead into the system and it doesn’t matter what sort of education they get, you’ll get a regional manager out the other end.
