Private fee paying schools are confusingly described as “Public Schools” as Kets explained when they are anything but that.

These schools had a reputation for a lot of “Willie watching” and gay teachers touching up the pupils at the “all boy” Public Schools in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Pervy teachers were attracted to working in these institutions back in those days.

Now it’s completely different in this country, the perv and p a e d o teachers work in all classes of our schools!
It is complex, I differentiate quite a bit between private and public schools, Private school as a term is any school not funded by the state but charges tuition fees, nowt wrong with these but not for me. Public schools: Historically the most exclusive – and expensive – mainly boys only and often are boarding schools, these schools (Eaton/Harrow etc) tend to create self entitled pricks, they definitely should charge VAT as most parents are likely tax exiles or in government.
