Subject: Access modifier : private

Hi!

I'm missing some core ruby concept here that I just can't figure out;
any assistance would be excellent and welcome:

I came to know from various posts that Class level varibales are
shared among its subclasses in 1.8.

But my confusion is, even though i mark it as private, it is
accessible in subclass. See example below for more clarity on doubt.

class Test1
 private
 @@v=10
end

class Test2 < Test1
 def pr
   @@v=12
   puts @@v
 end
end

Test2.new.pr
