Let's bully state education with 'social mobility'!



State education is used and bullied by people claiming to want 'social mobility' when 3 things are designed specifically to prevent any form of level playing field: a) tax evasion/tax havens b) private education c) inherited wealth. State education can't beat those three!

And let's not forget that the whole idea of 'social mobility' is based on a mythic idea that the people down below can and will 'move up' a ladder but why would people up above 'move down' the ladder to give them room? The point is a) tax evasion/tax havens b) private education c) inherited wealth are designed to prevent 'moving down'.

Meanwhile, some of us think there shouldn't be a ladder in the first place!
