Someone told me that his kids will go to a top notch school so as to get into the right networks! If you are the ceo of a blue chip company earning millions, living in a 100m home in runda and driving a 20m range Rover from CMC you don't take your kids to some funny school where you pay 20k a term. Also you need to get your kids into the right networks since this will be very useful in their future. I watched some documentary where Russian, chinese and arab parents are paying millions to get their kids into top private schools in the UK eg Eton coz they know that those schools will produce the future leaders in politics ( including the UK PM), business etc. Sometimes it is a very wise move to have your kid as a desk mate to the future British prime minister, future king, head of BP etc. That investment will pay alot of dividends in future. Well spoken...Just like where we have our beers...If you usually have your beer at Njoguioni mbaa and lestolant, the people you meet there are hawkers, muggers, addicts etc . compare that to people you meet at Kempiaski. Which category of people are more useful?

I read somewhere that when a son is born into any of the British aristocratic families, he's guaranteed a place at Eton and Oxford, whether they pass the exam or not, coz those institutions were created by King Edward in 1200 AD specifically to educate the sons of the monarchy and aristocracy. Later the son is required to inherit his father's estate and dukedom, and also his seat in the house of lords, the upper house of British Parliament. In other words you are born to rule.
