Sounds more like a sink comp to me?

Or in other words, if Harry had gone to the local Windsor comp he would have failed his A levels and probably got 2 Es or not even sat them, so surely a B and a D is an improvement on that?
People seem to think that if you pay lots of money for education it is the school’s job to get a pupil the best grades. A school cannot change a pupil’s innate ability, just get a little more out of them with lots of extra attention/care. I am sure some unhappy children fall through the cracks though, even in the top private schools. I doubt they would have let him of all people fall through the cracks.

And why criticise your father so openly in a book that itself is utterly failing your own children more than your father ever did. Imagine being a teenage girl and reading about your father’s frost bitten penis and losing his virginity and understanding that he may have exposed you to a Taliban risk. It is all utter madness and hypocrisy. I really do feel sorry for him but he is perpetuating the generational failure far more than what was done to him with his actions.
