  So while the parents were creating political chaos, they didn't want their children around it? But didn't mind ruining other children lives in the process?

  Future vipers of earth. Untouched by reality and cloaked in entitlement

  I am Swiss and I would like to preface something important: We don&apos;t send our kids to these schools.<br>The vast majority of Swiss people went to public school, generally private schools here are considered to be expensive versions of the aforementioned public schools.<br>For those special international private schools, teachers are indeed at the top, but even for us, it&apos;s just too expensive.<br>Our country has its problems with the education system (it depends on the canton but it&apos;s generally pretty homogeneous) and there should definitely be a debate and multiple propositions on how to reform the base of how it works. We should have a system where practice is prioritized over mindlessly remembering something using exclusively theory

  The Swiss &quot;pristine image&quot; built on the corruption and greed of its &quot;secret&quot; banking system doing business with the very worst of humanity

  Tjat is why we will never see these politicians working for the people. They give us the illusion that we have choices but they all went to the same school and know each other and support each other to keep their power

  Friend of the family sent his child to one of this insanely expensive schools in Switzerland. The child didn’t socialise there with others to his father’s dissatisfaction. He said all students there are spoiled, not interested in studying, but interested in partying, drugs and alcohol.

  These rich &quot;bubble&quot; kids will grow up to be painfully out-of-touch &nbsp;adults, only looking at the world through their rich curated glasses. Nothing about this is actually good for our global society. Most will be just like their parents...rich, greedy, out-of-touch and only caring about power and money, and certainly not the average working class individual. They&apos;re just clones of their parents.

  Kim Jong Un current leader of North Korea attended a Swiss School. He&apos;s in his early 40&apos;s, so this is accurate. Switzerland is absolutely gorgeous.

  The Swiss don’t send their kids to these schools. Their “public” schools are excellent. In fact if you send your kids to a private school in CH it means the student may not be that bright.

  Imagine rich American kids safely stuck here while gun violence with no changing laws destroys high schools in US

  The wealthy always have an advantage in educational institutions, whether they be in Switzerland or the United States because they have the money to keep these institutions going
