Eaton
Last week, during an exchange lesson with our other English teacher we talked about a public school in the UK - Eaton, and generally about an institution of a public, boarding, all-boys school. The topic was pretty interesting but the thing that made me worry... When we talked about the pros and cons of all the boys in a big range of age all living together. When I said that the older boys can be role models and brother figures to the younger ones, the teacher called me an optimist for thinking that! She said that they very often choose the path opposite to that and bully or abuse the young boys. I'm aware that things like that happen but I still hope that there are people who choose to use their higher standing and power to help the more vulnerable ones rather than abuse them.
