Ugh.*Before some yank rides in on his moral high horse about muh classism, being a filthy peasant in this context has nothing to do with your social class. It's the trogs who have zero inclination to apply themselves at school.My family was poor as shit, bugger all income and a mountain of debt. Free school meals and textbooks because we had zero money, I don't mean not a lot I mean we were flat broke. And yet, I still managed to walk out of highschool with three times as many GCSEs as the average student.You work hard, you do your studying and you put school above football/drinking with your lads or whatever the fuck they do nowadays - and you will do fine.We should have brought back the grammar schools a long time ago, trying to shovel every kid through the same system doesn't bloody work. The workers need practical jobs and skills for a trade, the academics need to not be held back by the gumby of the classroom.But see when I say something like this, people start shitposting about bootstraps.

Not every working class student who can barely afford a pair of Filas is going to necessarily be gifted in handiwork, and likewise, not every upperclass toff who relies on daddy to pay for everything is going to be a sublime academic.
Woah, all of a sudden poverty, poor education, and oppression of the working class are all problems. Strange that nobody noticed that until just recently!

Strange that nobody noticed that until just recently!That's not all the article is on though, race seems to play a part as well. White people poor people tend to preform worse then poor people of other races, compared to mixed race kids, white kids tend to be 10% more likely to fail to attain the English GCSE at a C level.

The fact that white males make up a significant part of the working class of South England and that class-based divides are pretty much the ultimate divider?Or the "RACISM NOT REAL WHITE PRIVILEGE IS FALSE HURPA DURPA" one that people love trying to push with this statistic?
I don't find it particularly humorous to be perfectly honest. Invert the gender and race and I guarantee you wouldn't find it that amusing.
