not true in fact if i remember correctly this is why middle class came about because too many working class people got rich though changes in industry and the upper classes looked down on them as they didnt have the breeding so not so much a matter of wealth as birth.
On the education thing it doesnt have to matter what school you send them to as long as you take the time to teach them at home so long as you have access to the interwebs either through home or through a public library you have all sorts of learning resources you shouldnt solely rely on the school. I am probably most peoples definition of lower class im 25 unwed got three kids dont own my home and receive some benefits yet both my eldest could count up to and past 100 by the time they were three Azia has learning difficulties which made her grasp of reading and writing difficult but shes still up to speed on those with the rest of her class and Auron can read and write as well as most 7 year olds and hes 4 and all this with out huge amounts of money for extra teaching private nurserys or those bloody kumon or muzzy courses for kids so class or money need not make a difference
