David Llewelyn Morris's –„Public School BoyPublic School• de facto private school, which educates secondary students for a fee and independently of the state system• In America the term " public school,” by contrast refers only to government-controlled local free schools. Summary Public School Boy is an autobiographical memoir written by David Llewelyn Morris when he was a first-year student at the University of North Wales in Bangor. He describes his Schullafubahn, starting from the age of five, with particular reference to the time spent at the public "King's School" in Canterbury. Until the age of 13, the narrator visits a small kindergarten, where he is obviously quite happy. The teachers are described as enthusiastic and he also says that this was the time he learned the most. Morris is a good student, always among the best in the class, and at 13 he passes the Common Entrance, which allows him to visit a public school. He is accepted at King's School in Canterbury, which his brother has just left. While Morris is proud of his accomplishments, he is also sad and scared at having to leave his home, admitting that he has never lived away from home before. So when his parents take him to Canterbury the day before term starts, it's hard for him not to start crying as he sees them leave. During the night, however, as he lies in his bed in a dormitory with eight other boys, tears burst into his eyes and he feels terribly alone. This feeling of loneliness accompanies him for a long time; he even says that the public school system is a good preparation for prison.
