Down With Skool
Just to introduce a lighter (not to say irrelevant) note,
Although I had not the unique experience of the English minor public school, I got some insight into its 'benefits' from the books of Nigel Molesworth, who chronicled his times at St Custard's with a mixture of low cunning and ineffably bad spelling.
Has anyone else read Molesworth? It was a bit before my time but my Dad put me on to him.
If you want to know more you'll have to buy a copy, but there's a brilliant pastiche which has Molesworth attending "hoggwarts skool for WITCHCRAFT and wizzardry ".

Warning: reading Molesworth can seriously impair your ability to spell.

Biggest fan of Molesworth here!
Particularly loved "skool dinners- or the peece of cod which passeth understanding"
Nice to see a more lighthearted post on here.
PS the hogwarts thing - does that mean JK Rowling pinched it? Hee hee

I hadn't thought of that, to be honest. No, I must say I had a better experience of him than you. I always recall him being more tolerant and open-minded than many people.
Free,
Those pictures are on the web site as well ...
