As for the above [statement] very true - I live near a posh school and know the headmaster - who is a nice enough person - he is popular with the school community/parents etc. However, as soon as his son got a teaching degree he was set up at the school - He did not attend a highly ranked university [ not that it matters -but he would've if he could've ] Thus it looks like he got an easy ride. I thought this an ovesight by the father.
