I thought it was funny and cutting at the same time.
I find the inverted snobbery about private schools amazing.
How do you mean?
The people I know who went to private schools are no more or less pampered, snobbish or uncaring than the people who went to public schools (like I did). Many people seem to think a stereotype can be applied to kids/people who go to private schools which, if applied to another group on the basis of colour or religion would be blatantly racist or bigoted. Just as everyone from Tallaght isn’t a “skanger”, a criminal and a drug dealer, everyone who goes to Blackrock College (or any other private school) isn’t Ross O’Carroll Kelly or some self absorbed snob.
