Our Great British Public Schools

I don't know where paedophilia comes from and I may be barking up entirely the wrong tree but it occurs to me that if you place young males of the ruling class in schools where it's covertly (or not so covertly) accepted that bigger boys take smaller boys as their bitches you shouldn't be entirely surprised if some of them carry this behaviour over into adult life.

I suppose most of our public schools are 19th century foundations.

Anyway, it's the 19th century ones I presume to know something about because I was a boarder at one of them.

I've only worked at prep schools, and taken part in historical recreations with prep school children
