I am torn when it comes to rating this book. I would like to rate it really highly because I believe in it as a source of reassurance for those who have been negatively affected by the British boarding school system. That said, I think it is not that well written and terribly edited - the continual typos made it irritating to read in places.

Enabling boarding school survivors to find a healthy, connected and nourishing path through the complexities that life's journey offers. Like other reviewers, I believe from my knowledge of other boarders that a majority enjoyed it and sincerely believed they benefited from it. It is the future children of this sort to whom Duffell threatens serious harm, for his more fanatical followers have become so bitter about their sufferings that they cannot allow the possibility that most experienced boarding very differently. Even when they can allow this, many of them will say the risk of bad experience is such that no one should be allowed to take it and boarding schools should accordingly be abolished. The threat they pose both to the millions of children to come who could thrive in boarding school and to every parent's natural right to decide his child's upbringing is only too real.

So what I'm saying is that the author's made a poor argument. I found some of what he said risible - and I'm someone who really despises the boarding school system. My physician friend also found some of it laughable. This wouldn't stand up as a piece of empirical research. Weiler, A. H. (A.W.). "Them (1954); Warner Brothers chiller at Paramount."

By the Texan’s own admission, his good fortune may have been the product of bargain hunting. “Walt probably asked, ‘How much would Arness cost?’ and then ‘This fellow [Parker], we ought to be able to get him real economical,” Parker once said. 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.

Despite frequent references in English popular literature to the agonies experienced by children at boarding schools, the long-term effects of a boarding education have, until very recently, remained unnoticed by the medical and psychological professions. In Britain, boarding education carries high social status, is considered a privilege, and is rife with parental expectation.

To hear Douglas tell it, the insect models looked a lot scarier in person. “I put green and red soap bubbles in the eyes,” he once stated. “The ants were purple, slimy things. Their bodies were wet down with Vaseline. They scared the bejeezus out of you.” For better or for worse, though, audiences never got the chance to savor the bugs’ color scheme.

The giant ants, painted a purplish-green color, were constructed and operated by unseen technicians supervised by Ralph Ayers. During the climactic battle sequence in the Los Angeles sewers, there is a brief shot of one ant moving in the foreground with its side removed, revealing its mechanical interior.

Both as a child and a parent, I must admit to resenting as mean and unfair a book which insinuates that parents who send their children to boarding school love them less, and claims more broadly that the children believe this even when it's not true. I was sent away at eight and, unlike many of my contemporaries, hated it at that age, but my mother's evident distress and barely suppressed tears the first day, and the postcards she sent me literally every weekday for the first few years are my most abiding memories of her love. This is an excellent critique of the boarding (public) school system which, as the author shows, is a Victorian anachronism that has more to do with meeting the needs of the British class system than those of children, and which amounts to socially condoned abandonment. The author tells some of his own story and how he came to examine the effects on himself of having been through that system, and ended up becoming a psychotherapist. He also examines the history of boarding schools, and the social and cultural reasons for their creation and continuation; he quotes some of the people who have come to him for help and also examines some public figures and media interest in the subject; and he also looks at attitudes to children in Britain generally and contrasts this with some informed views of what constitutes good childcare. But the core of it is an examination of what happens to children when they find themselves in a situation in which they feel profoundly unsafe and without love, but are unable to show any feeling or vulnerability. He suggests that the largely unconscious techniques they use to survive psychologically, together with the institutional upbringing, result in a damaged or false self and what he calls a strategic survival personality that, once formed, is very difficult to dismantle, and will become counter-productive in later life. With the child's unmet needs also having been carried through to adulthood, problems with feeling, authenticity, identity, intimacy, and sexuality (to name a few) are likely to emerge. The final chapters point the way to at least a measure of recovery from these problems.
