Getting back to the (equally dreary old) class thing again. I came from a working class family and when I aspired to an education middle class teachers told me that I was getting above my station. A few years down the line, when I had acquired my education, middle class 'socialist' teachers accused me of being 'middle class'! This experience caused me to take this class thing with a pinch of salt and led me to conclude that some teachers are very insecure people who feel the need to exclude others. Personally, I think that in society there are workers, unemployed workers and bosses - and the bosses are not to be trusted.

My message to teachers who want to exclude me, for whatever reason, is f*ck off - I no longer give a sh*t about what you think of me!
