哈羅公學提供千五學位

I don't hold prejudice for or against Harrow.  It seems good for HK to have a branch from an elitist boarding school in the UK.  However, I feel uncomfortable with the way Harrow promotes the school's association with Winston Churchill.

According to Churchill (his autobio The Early Life), he didn't really enjoy his schooling there.  He didn't do well at Harrow and found himself handicapped at Latin, French and Maths (there's no way he would be allowed to learn Greek).  What he enjoyed most was Harrow songs and he just couldn't wait to go to the Royal Military College at Sandhurst.  He said he would have been happier and found it more beneficial for him to study somewhere/something else.  He noted that he would not want to study at Harrow if given a choice.
