The jokes about Eton, Parktown boys, Affies, KES, PBHS, these elite all boys schools, etc aren't really jokes. They're pretty much real. Just google stuff about water polo coach scandals and you'll be horrified
Elites send their kids to these schools as part of tradition to basically break down and rebuild their children. Of course middle and upper class parents that can afford the tuition, and scholarship kids like me also get duped
Basically what it is. I remember the one I went to had a course on how to socialise which basically boiled down to being fake confident and keeping that guard up at all times. Zero vulnerability in terms of stuff like anxiety, etc allowed to be shown
And yes sometimes it's also literally beaten out of you by older students, hierarchy between the grades is heavily enforced, with the older grades on top.

Sounds like a sociopath making machine for the elites to beat out empathy and functional social interactions jfc

Sounds like a legit "how not to appear too much like a spiteful lizard beast" class.
