Hi all.

I'm currently a first year Law student at Durham, aiming to get into the bar and practice as a barrister.

Obviously, I don't have any children yet - but I was curious as to how it might look in the future. I definitely want at least one child, if not two, and have considered adopting as soon as I've got a stable income and my own job (I'm gay and don't want to do the whole surrogacy route).

I guess what I wanted to ask is, let's hope all things go well and I do have a very stable income and could hypothetically afford it, would it be worth sending my them to somewhere like Eton/Harrow/Westminster/Marlborough?

Or should I let them go into state school?

Thanks!
(Once again I know it's incredibly early days, but dad always tells me to be prepared)

Title is pretty self-explanatory, but do you think we should re-differentiate between polytechnics and universities?

Edit: This post has sparked up a lot of structured, intellectual, debate - but also a lot of pointless name calling and insults. It's rather depressing, frankly. This rejectionist attitude is the exact opposite of what universities were created for.
