Unfortunately, some people seem to think that going to a state-school means doom, and that a private education is necessary for success. On a side note, I went to state schools too. - Jason Jones Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:29:56 +0100 http://adamsmith.org/blog/politics/social-mobility-and-incentives-200806251605/#comment-495 Hey ASI! News-release from the department of the blinding obvious: most people don't need "empirical data" to believe that "poor children who do well in their studies (EVEN IN STATE-SCHOOLS) will generally escape poverty". Why the departure from your usual common-sense-based approach and tone? Last time I checked various British Prime Ministers, including Wilson and Heath off the top of my head, attended state schools, so I don’t see what they have done to deserve such a disparaging reference in this post.
