Bullied, i was actually when i was a year 7 by a year 8. We got caught having a fight after he tripped me up and i'd had enough. He punched me, i grabbed his windpipe till his face went blue 
He got a weeks after school detentions, i got off scott free. He never came near me again. That was my only issue.
Quite comical looking back. Bullying will always be about, but its much worse now. 10 years ago you didn't have to worry about having a fight, and being stabbed. We used fists.
I played rugby at a rugby school. I wasn't bullied

Fair point about the fighting but that was my initial point, don't send your child to a school were there are knives and nutters wielding them. It's fairly simple to distinguish between a good area and a bad one.
If children can't handle the odd taunt or sly dig at school the answer isn't to take them out and ostracise them from society, that's my 2 cents anyway

Taunts and digs don't worry me, thats part of growing up.
But when kids at 10 years of age are carrying knifes and can kill another child without really knowing what they are doing, then it becomes serious.
Problem is, a lot of schools are going this way. Its got MUCH worse in the 10 years i've not been at school, and with todays inbred society, I can only see it getting worse. You can't tell from the outside what a school is really like. Any school anywhere will have its nutcases who will always go that extra step to look cool.

that was more my reasoning behind it, nothing to do with better education
Given the lasting effect on me and my sister from going to boarding school so young.....
I would never EVER* send my kids to a boarding school.
*unless i was an arab gillionaire
why what lasting effects? a mate of mine went boarding school and has some great stories, not sure what he thought of it though
