Where did you go to school?

“…And even the rich cry. The graduate of a British school in La Dehesa will tend to hide where he really comes from when, at the public university, he faces the kids from the Latino, the Rubén Darío or the San Juan, never mind the heavyweights from the Lastarria or the Nacional, who eat anyone alive. And he’ll say he went to “a small school in Lo Barnechea” rather than own up to his roots in front of people who despise privilege. As must have happened with the MAPU crowd in the 60s, when they said they had gone to “a school run by priests” rather than admit they were from the Verbo Divino or Saint George.”
