mLine 32:
Line 32: − − ==== British public schools ==== − − In the United Kingdom, public schools are, despite their name, the most exclusive of the private schools, usually educating the children of the aristocracy and the very rich. The prevalence of [[homosexuality]] among the members of the British upper classes (and hence institutions such as the [[BBC]]) is a direct result of the so-called [[fag]] system, whereby an older boy takes on a younger boy as his personal slave. The Amercian slang term "fag", for homosexual, derives from this practice.

Compulsory 5-days a week, nearly 8-hours a day attendance at public school only began nationwide in the [[United States]] during the 20th century. Compulsory schooling laws were not universal throughout the [[United States]] until 1917, and even then the school year was often less than a half year.<ref>http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/kellmeyer/050428</ref> There have been few, if any, long-term studies on the effects of the modern approach of full-time attendance at school from age 6 and younger to age 21 and older.
