It’s a bit of both. Certainly some of the masters at my boarding school were very arbitrary so I recognised the archetypes.

Boarding school is very uncommon in the US. One niblet is now boarded and the other will be soon, and people act like we're sending them to Pirate Island or something. They come home frequently, it's a VERY positive thing they want/ed and they got scholarships and it's an ELITE school.

I went to a very high profile/expensive boarding school thanks to what I jokingly call my “hereditary scholarship”. We had to get permission slips to go into town. Running laps was a usual punishment. In prep school my class had to sit without moving for a lesson as punishment - not sure what for.
