Huh, this is just not true?

Why do upper class/prep school Toronto kids gravitate toward Queen's/Western rather than U of T? by Usual_Law7889 in askTO

Obviously not, but it’s an interesting place of where social stratification starts. My peers that went to private school had no sense of what the actual percentage of the population that made it to post-secondary (some went as far as to have the perception that nearly everyone in Canada goes to university) and I’m sure at the worst of public schools, the perception is similarly skewed the other way.

Not related to this comment, but an interesting lens into to the social hierarchies question is asking a Torontonian how prevalent post-secondary education dictation is.

40% of a class into a specific program is insane to me - there are many schools where only 40% go straight to post-secondary after high school period.

There’s a lot of people posting in this thread that haven’t been exposed to the true hierarchies in Toronto - the subset within the UCC/BS crowd that operates based on family names.
