Did you go to boarding school in the 60s-80s?

Would you mind letting me ask you some questions for a project I’m researching? I’d love to get some insight into what it was like.

not a journo, this is just a hobby.

penis beaker, snapped and farted etc etc.

I went in the 80s.

I taught at one for a short time

Girls 80s.

I went in the 80s

My relative went in the 60s and 50s. Very prestigious boys school. Was non stop violent bullying from staff and older boys, and sexual abuse which I understand was common back then at boarding schools. I don’t think you’ll get an accurate picture as the abuse survivors won’t wanna talk about it, but I just wanted to make the point that it was a standard part of the experience 😥

Thanks everyone, I’m going to PM you all.

yes, @Firty that’s the kind of experience I’m trying to glean. Not specific events necessarily but what the every day experience was like in an environment like that. Particularly if you were a female student in that kind of institution.

I went in the 50's/60's.

1970's girls

Still in contact with some friends from those days, happy to pass on your request. PM me.
