No Tamar, perhaps I haven't made myself clear. My schooling *did* traumatise me, but the worst things were hardest to see, in particular the psychological demolition jobs. Unhappy 11 yo kids in boarding schools have plenty of opportunities to show how devious and generally unworthy of continued understanding they can seem to be. I was thinking of the chalk throwing thing and being caned, which, as I said, was no big deal compared to the other stuff. Neither was paedophilia of the gentler variety. That might give you some idea of how bad it was. But others suffered worse, I know.
