[quote=Anonymous]These private schools were founded by wealthy people to educate their children. Just like accounting to Agnes in the Gilded Age, “Charity has two functions in our world, my dear. The first is to raise funds for the less fortunate, which is wholly good. The second is to provide a ladder for people to climb into society who do not belong there,” private education has two functions. The first is to teach and the second, to provide a ladder. At least our wealthy weren’t like the wealthy of Downton Abbey, who believed in strict class divides. But they weren’t entirely self-sacrificing either.[/quote]
