I went to a private school and it rings true. Exclusive cliques check. Bullying check. Some teachers bullying too check. All from ‘good’ families. Kids who were weak academically went to private accountancy schools afterwards and got cushy jobs (plus house/flat bought for them). Me? College loans kek.
Extremely mixed/multicultural school for the place/time - Muslim, Jewish kids etc. went there too. Highly unusual at the time (not now though!).
Also some kids who had issues / sick leave due to psychiatric issues… any in yours??
