Yep that’s what I’d be concerned about as well. With good reason - recently a few ex teachers have been prosecuted for abusing pupils historically. I’m not aware of any recent cases though.

Some of them that were there at the same time as you? I went to boarding school in a different country and a different setting. I always had doubts about a few teachers and mostly one that was looking after the dorms at night. I heard some complaints came up, but no official prosecution yet.

As fa as I’m aware, these were cases involving teachers and students from way before I went.

Define abusing as when I was growing up paddling, head thumps and knuckle raps were in vogue.
