Private School Poll

[FSM with Cheddar]

I went, generally a good experience, apart from the time I had to eat the biscuit.

How soggy?

btw - I absolutely loved it. My parents ran a pub in the middle of nowhere so I had sod all to do before I went to boarding school.

I went to a Catholic school but I didn't go to church... now I feel guilty.

Yep - private school from 11 to 18 here. First one was a living hell, Lord Of The Flies kind of experience, second one was excellent, outstanding. Boarded from 15 to 18.

I went to progressive private school - teachers called by the first name, no prefects, no sports days. Enjoyed it, but was glad to get back to reality by going to the local sixth-form college.

I went to a Jesuit school, they made the current pope look like a free thinking liberal.

I take it this is now the thread.

I went but really hated it, an amazing amount of tossers.

I went (won a scholarship) but fookin' hated the Edwardian ethos. Teachers walking about in robes, big school, prefects, boat race .... all that old Bollox. I got expelled after a few years and went to the local comp. Didn't learn a thing but was like a breath of fresh air. Made it to a proper Uni too

I enjoyed the rugby though. Kept that up for many years after.

As did I, mostly. Same one as you I suppose, as there is only one in scotland I think.

Instilled a deep rooted hatred of the scottish middle classes that I still can't quite get into perspective after 25 yrs. Shower of utter c***s.

Exactly the same feeling I gained from my incarceration there. I eventually told my parents that I was never going back no matter what they did.

It was a training school to build arseholes to go into a law degree. I now have a greater respect for folk who have made something from nothing rather than the "My daddy has a porsche and I want to be a Lawyer" ***** that the school produces.
