George’s education costs

[Honest23]

Who here would honestly happily contribute to George’s education costs?

Reported to be £68000 a year at Eton.

As far as I remember, Harry did manage to pass 11 GCSEs. That is a lot, more than most. Some of my brothers were doing exams at the same time as William and Harry so I remember. He then did less well at A level and lost focus/maybe started partying, don’t know. Some kids struggle with the transition to A level.
It is hardly “thick”, just more average.
And these days with the harder GCSEs failure rates for maths and English sit at a whopping third. So if Harry is supposedly thick what does that make all those youngsters.

It is one of the problems with our education system that GCSE history is seen as difficult and so a lot of kids drop it and take geography instead. So some kids drop history as early as year 8 and primary is all about maths and English with a cursory dive into 20 century in year 6 and then KS3 I think. My DC did more Greek, Romans and Egyptians before that. Then in year 7 British history, Tudors etc. I just looked up common entrance syllabus and also only takes you until 1914.

So there are loads of kids not studying the Second World War and Cold War at school in any depth at all. It sort of is visited in KS3 briefly. 35 per cent of kids then do GCSE history.

Harry is not thick, he did quite well, is just not overly academic. However he proved himself as an army officer.
