Discrimination against middle-class students!

Personally i would work, despite the low job satisfaction.
I don't think it is right for people to do nothing at all, and live off other people. My grandad had his head stuck up mines for 30 years, but he had the committment to work for his country.

Is anyone else as sick and tired as I am about the discrimination which goes on against middle-class students in this country? Many people at my school didn't get into the university of their first choice because they were guilty of the crime of being born better off. If it were blacks, homosexuals or spastics the Guardian and all their spineless readers would be in uproar but, no, because the target of this prejudice is the middle classes, it's ok. This country really makes me angry sometimes.

Not good, we've been overtaken by the tories

And I resent you using the word "spastics" - THAT IS DISCRIMINATION!

I think I'm beginning to like you, lol

You f***in what?

Discrimination against MC students? The entire education system favours MC students, even if Labour's social democratic policies are trying to be inclusive of WC students, they still don't do as well as MC students, so don't start moaning about being disadvantaged!

The system makes it more difficult for WC students to gain the same results as MC students, they are just as bright and able they just haven't had the privilaged upbringing that MC students have.

Hypocrite!

Nosos,
Theres also the fact that many of the people you are talking about are not exactly encouraged into work by the fact that many working class people who DO work are treated like absolute **** by SOME people in higher social positions, and not given any human dignity or respect. Some people experience that regularly. On top of that they have much lower wages. Is it any surprise they end up in positions whee they are nihlistic and violent and resentful? I'll get the piss taken out of me for this, but perhaps if we had a society where people had more empathy and were more courteous then you would not get a resentful, nihlistic underclass who don't want to work. Many of the middle classes only hardship is having to discipline themselves to place their heads in books for a few years, and some are so intelligent its piss-easy for them anyway, and a ticket to a fulfilling, and yes, sometimes demanding career..are you seriously trying to say that life is not easier for people higher up the social order?!! As i say you must have very little empathy with people in other positions if this is what you think, or otherwise you are spoilt and/or self-seeking.

I don't agree with what you are saying at all (again-sorry!)
The myth that people who are in under paid jobs work harder is silly, and nothing but reverse discrimination to be honest.
I do agree though, that the gap between rich and poor is growing, and that is a major problem which we should all face, society needs class divides to function, but we don't want to end up like China.

the gap between rich and poor is growing

you're making out that being from a poor background means you arent intelligent enough to learn

The last bit you'll have to explain to me

you were making out as if a lower class pupil was incapable of studying. i'd like you to clarify

Not that they work harder..if i said that it is not what i mean..i mean that able people can have the world financially way easier than others, purely through being able, and not hardworking,no... and when i hear the priveliged whingeing on i have no sympathy, its just pathetic..get over yourselves....

give me the quote from what i said, because thats nothing to do with what i was saying

The term 'privelaged' is not right at all... i will not be privelaged when i go to university because i will get no help from anybody but my parents, and they won't be able to pay for the lot!
And having more money does not instantly guarantee an easy life. Money is not everything.
Look at Richard Branson. Being poor only makes you disadvantaged if you let it do so.

i did quote you and you said you didnt follow. you said all the middle classes had to do was read books for a few years. to me that implied that you thought the lower classes were incapable of such learning.
