I thought that the English boarding school has always been depicted in 
the arts as something of a monastic lifestyle, from Tom Brown's School 
Days on.  Besides, when I was going to school, the teachers didn't 
look sexy to me.  When I went back to a school as an adult, I wondered 
what the heck happened since I was a kid.
