Did anyone here see this?

Programme here.

I was hoping to see a political debate on mn about it, but it seems to have mostly inspired debate amongst the state versus private education types.

I think it has much wider implications for society and democracy (or the lack of it?) ...

that link's not working for me tapsel.

Was it the public schoolboys running the world one?

i can't get the link either... apparently my phone doesn't support it. (not on a phone lol)

Yes elephants, I did the link on my phone, so that is prrobably why it didn't work this.

I tend to lurk on this topic rather than post. It would be good to have a media type thread in the feminist section, I heard a programme on radio 4 today that I thought I would link on here too. Called teenage kicks it really concerns me, and I know there has been a debate on mn before along the lines of this, to do with sexually aggressive behaviour at school.

So what did you think of the Andrew Neil programme? Will try to check out the radio prog later.

I thought it highlighted the problem of elitism well but did not really put forward a holistic solution, I don't think it is just about improving education.
