　　A Very Public Education will see the headteacher and a small group of Year 9 and 10 pupils from one state secondary school and one private, boarding secondary school swapping places to spend a week immersed in the school life of the other. 　　　　By filming the experiences and reactions of the individuals involved and those around them in each school, the series aims to provide an insight into some of the key differences between the two sectors at a time when education is a political battlefield and the broad perception is of a gulf in standards between them. 　　　　With more than a third of the current cabinet having emerged from fee-paying schools and regular reports about state school pupils falling behind their privately-educated counterparts in landing places at the best universities and the best jobs, the programmes will set out to explore the social, economic and educational challenges and differences that face both groups. But, over the two episodes, it will also seek to highlight shared experiences to see what they can potentially learn from each other. 　　　　The two schools involved are The Bemrose School, in Derby and Warminster School, in Wiltshire. Both schools are mixed gender and the pupils taking part in the swap are drawn from pupils aged 13-15 from Years 9 and 10.

《交换学校：阶级分化》7%人享受到的教育模式，真得有用！

温文尔雅的私立校长和尖刻坦率的公立校长，这似乎也代表了两方的某种特质，随和的富人与不安于现状的穷人。私立的规则教学方式很值得学习，比如晚宴，比如着装，比如运动设施，比如校长参与（站校门口与面试每个学生），但辉煌的私立成就建立在雄厚的财富上，建立在2.7万英镑一年的费用上，这是只属于7%英国人的享受。而公立面对着非常多的问题，生源中甚至有大量非英语母语的移民，这让教育变得艰难。资金的匮乏也让公立必须精打细算，无法做出大刀阔斧的改革，或者提升教学质量，这是一种困局。

昨天看到b站上这个纪录片，总体来说喜欢第二集。第一集主要是公子哥去体验生活，第二集真真正正把底层教育下孩子的羡慕展露无疑。公立学校的课余生活基本为0 师生比也非常高，对比私立学校从小培养精英阶层：早上做祷告师生比接近1:5 丰富的课余活动还有晚宴社交这些从公立学校男主的眼里看出了向往。这里的学生自信大方谈吐优雅走路都是“牛津步”。高质量的教育资源确实需要金钱和铺垫，上流社会的父母把孩子送到这种学校本质上都是为了人脉互换。

资本主义国家必然拥有更加丰厚的物质条件与稳定的社会背景，但同时阶层差异与阶级固化也更加显著。
阶级固化在社会主义国家是不被倡导的，以至于在发展中国家中流砥柱的中国，社会主流价值观是人定胜天，“王侯将相宁有种乎”，主张年轻一辈靠勤奋与不断进取促进社会地位的抬升，以获得世俗意义上的成功。中国的教育体制一直饱受国内学子诟病，例如剥夺学生的自由与个性，强制学习，过度压力，于是国内部分媒体开始鼓吹“西方素质教育”
