    My Lord. Like Sue Nicholas, I trust you are reassuring the child/children that the prospect of academic prowess is not the only benchmark in life (still less class, whatever that means), nor age 10 the only point at which to measure. As I think the Captain intimates, we are each sitting on a ball of iron going round a ball of gas for an unknown but finite number of trips; make of them what you will. If one receives the love of parents and earns that of a spouse, neither of which is at all guaranteed by a grammar school education, then that to me is value and wealth. It is also evidentially the case that a rewarding life is not put out of reach by the lack of academic qualifications - or by a disability either, for that matter. To quote Mr Keating, I hope you dance.
