I didn't have a private education and I turned out.
In fact, I didn't really have a state education because I was hardly there - I hated it, the teachers, and most of the pupils so much.
As it was, I did alright in my exams and have gone on to do alright in life.
Both my kids are at a state primary school - and it's a fantastic place to be.
Just about all our friends kids are at private school (age range 6-10 years old) and none of them are any further advanced than my kids.
To me, I don't think a private ed particularly matters at primary age - obviously depending on the sort of primary schools in your catchment. Luckily ours is a small, fairly affluent village school (120 kids).
I think much of it is down to the natural ability of the child and the support of the parents.

This includes, the basics like politeness, empathy, and ability to get on with people from all walks of life.
And the belief and desire to educate themselves, to see knowledge and education as an absolute cornerstone to a successful life (whatever one defines successful as).

I think that might say more about the wider community's view of **** than mine.
It is quite fascinating how easily the bait is taken

What is most interesting is that by posting up a couple of pictures of women and a yoga video that the whole of Scoobynet has extrapolated this into an assumption regarding my consumption of ****.

Love it, turns posting about **** into a sociological debate about **** in society, m kay...
Nothing to be ashamed of mate, keep posting it, very few people dont enjoy a bit of ****, but a lot make out they dont and wouldnt dream of it, as long as it is normal, mainstream stuff made by consenting and only involving consenting adults then its all good, in these tough times a free, healthy and enjoyable pursuit should be encouraged, susprised the government havent found a way to tax it, there would be quite a few more high rate taxpaters on here if it was.
