A former victim describes the cruelty of an elite English boarding school.

I got a taste of that just once while attending a private school in New York City. Being made to thank the school's head for slapping me hard and knocking me off the chair was far less than what the article describes, but I hated him after that.

One day I put a sign, "Ministry of Love," on his office. I put signs for the other three ministries of Oceania on other people's offices.
