The Making of Them: The British Attitude to Children and the Boarding School System

Product Information

Looking at who hates you the most,ridicules and manipulates you at every corner; it is the “elite”. One of the biggest staples of British high society has been the boarding school. Now many people when they think of boarding school immediately think of the Harry Potter series, however these institutions have been around far longer than the iconic book series. Boarding schools have, for generations existed to raise and shape the youth in the upper classes all over Great Britain. Parents send their kids off, even at ages as young as 7 or 8 to be given the best education with the promise of greater independence and strength of character. This started out REALLY interesting and insightful and then became Freudian and mildly ridiculous, as Freudian psychology always sounds to me. At the sound of who is working out what oedipal phase with whom I'm always starting to giggle, but he completely LOST ME with chapter 15 and his very entertaining (Freudian!) views on gender. The big insect mainly appears in long shots, and for close-ups, Smith built the front three quarters of a second large-scale ant and mounted it onto a camera crane. During scenes that required swarms of ants, smaller, non-motorized models were used. Blowing wind machines moved the little units’ heads around in a lifelike manner. 3.

Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company. ISBN 978-0-81081-029-7. At the dawn of the 21st century British society is still shaped by a private education system devised to gentrify the Victorian middle classes and produce gentlemen to run the Empire. Yet it is not on the political agenda. It is rarely the subject of public debate, and we remain blind to its psychological implications. Can we afford to go on ignoring this issue? Will we continue to sacrifice the welfare of our children to satisfy our antiquated social aspirations? Them! is one of the first of the 1950s "nuclear monster" films, and the first " big bug" feature film to use insects as the monster. D'Alessandro, Anthony (January 4, 2023).

London: Penguin Books, 1991. ISBN 0-14-014592-3. Insightful, free of unnecessary jargon and thorough. I think this book is helpful whether you went to boarding school, are close with a boarding school survivor or are in the psychotherapeutic profession. This book offers a unique insight into the world of children, and especially the way in which young souls – who have a right to be ‘childish’– can be irreparably damaged by the experience of boarding school. The book is thoroughly researched, and provides fascinating perspectives on the inner landscape of childhood, largely by showing the deep connections between the emotional, sexual and spiritual development of children. By exploring how boarding can damage these connections, the author makes a unique contribution to our understanding of childhood and adolescence.”–The International Journal of Children’s Spirituality.

As a boarding school survivor it was good to read this and confirm that I am not alone in my strangeness. It is a book of theories more than facts and metaphor rather than clarity. It does nor contain answers, only a suggestion of therapy. It does put a lot of other books in perspective that I'd read, autobiographies and not, which featured people being sent off to school. I could never imagine it and would have hated going to boarding school in primary school or even later, so it did not come as a surprise to me that that is harmful.Sorry to say but this article appears to be unbalanced and one sided. I taught in a Prep-School for 5 years and while not the same as a boarding school find it unimaginable to think that the excellent ethos of my school could change so fundamentally from one age group to the other as the children move on to boarding school at the age of 13. That parents at my school, who always took such an active interest by participating in their children’s education, should just shed their concern and responsibility whilst still paying thousands of pounds a year after their child has reached the age of thirteen beggars belief! Obviously there will always be some exceptions and I’m saddened to know Alexis Martin’s experience was less than happy.
