Boarding School

[NotAllThere]

There seems to be a confusion between public schools (caning, fagging etc. )and private schools - the parents pay for their children to go there. The first is a subset of the second. The second has a wide variety of philosophies.

There are still in existence state boarding schools - some of the remote Scottish Isles for example send their kids to such institutions.

Mine was a state boarding school.

Education paid for by the state (like a comprehensive). Boarding paid for by parents.

although I think the education was better by virtue of the fact it was a boarding school.

Oh and Yes - it was compulsory Rugby - but then all lessons were compulsory!

Went to a crappy comprehensive, don't need Friends Reunited to find former classmates, just need to contact Barlinnie Prison for visiting hours.
