 Why would a recluse, alien to the conventional values of society, be sent to a private school? Why would their family subject their soul to a day-long siege among spoiled, insolent children of wealthy, capitalist families—who have never known suffering, who get everything they want, whose only worry is a decline in their social media followers? In state schools, at least, there is the possibility of encountering every kind of person—not that every kind is there, but the possibility exists. In conventional fee-paying schools, however, that possibility is nearly zero. In such places, everyone was of the mindset “I’ll pay the money and get the grade,” and I was sent right into the midst of these types, into the rottenness of this wealth culture, forbidden to rescue myself from it.
