One of the questions I hear most often from former boarders is:
"Why did I hate prep school but love public school?"
Or sometimes:
"Why was public school much harder than prep school?"
In this solo episode, I explore the different experiences people report and why those differences may exist.
Drawing on stories from Roald Dahl, David Cameron, Ranulph Fiennes, Bear Grylls and John Peel, I examine how children adapt to boarding school environments and why the first boarding experience often has such a profound impact.
We discuss homesickness, bullying, adaptation, dissociation, betrayal trauma and the long-term effects of boarding school on identity, relationships and leadership.
Whether you attended boarding school yourself or work with those who did, this episode offers important reflections on how early experiences shape adult life.
