Fascinating. Where were you in school?

  UK. This was '88-'94. Small prep school in Hertfordshire that has since modernised and gone co-ed. It's almost a shame. Our lives there bordered on abusive in many regards, but it was brilliant - we were allowed to run around with rifles, go off exploring the countryside unsupervised, play with explosives, and the education was ridiculously good in hindsight. We had a lot of freedom within the rules - but if you broke them... Corporal punishment! Usually just a birch to the hands, and oh boy did it work - never got caught the same way twice!

    I went to a Christian Brother's High School in the 80's. 2 of the best, 4 of the best or God forbid 6 of the best. It was a tougher all boys school in the inner city. I think for the most part it kept us in line. My total for the entire year was 6 while the "worst" of the boys were at 60 or 70 in total by the end of a year.

    As a UK citizen who attended a straightforward city primary school and secondary boys school your experience is completely alien and fascinating to me. I had no idea such schools existed, even 20 years ago.
