How eccentric!.. or is it? Well, not really, since there are historic reasons for their names. When the first schools were invented, hundreds of years ago, they were all private schools. There were no such things as “state schools”. People, who could afford those public institutions, sent their children to be educated in the only schools available: these schools were open to the public – thus the name “public schools” but they are not free. Words: 1. eccentric – [ık´sentrık] – эксцентричный; странный 2. to be invented – быть изобретённым 3. available – [ǝ´veılǝbl] – доступный; имеющийся в распоряжении 4. to be (not) free – (не) быть бесплатным School rules Public schools are schools which believe in discipline. Generally speaking, they have no strict rules, and pupils who break the rules are punished. Some rules are reasonable. No smoking, no alcohol, no drugs. Uniforms are usually obligatory (обязательна). Other rules may depend on the school: certain places (certain parts of the town) may be “out of bounds”. Pupils, who are mostly boarders, are not usually allowed to have motorbikes, or beards. If they insult the teacher, they may be expelled from the school. In the past, most schools used a lot of corporal punishment. Today they try to do without it, except in special circumstances. Vocabulary 1. strict rules – строгие правила 2. to depend on – зависеть от чего-либо 3. to punish (v) – наказывать 4. drugs – наркотики 5. boarder – [´bɔ:dǝ] – пансионер (в школе) 6. beard – [bıǝd] – борода; растительность на лице 7. to insult (v) – [ın´sʌlt] – оскорблять, наносить оскорбление; обижать 8. to expel from (v) – [ıks´pel] – исключать (из школы) Comprehension_check_I.'>Comprehension check I.

Today Eton remains the largest and most famous public school in Britain. Boys arrive at school at the age of thirteen and leave at eighteen to take up their university careers at Oxford and Cambridge. They live in a boy’s house which is run by a house master, who is assisted in domestic affairs by a Dame (a sort of substitute mother for boys.) The house is the centre of the boy’s lives: it is here that they do about three hours’ preparation per day. The activities of the house are or-ganized by a senior boy known as the House Captain, who is often assisted by other three senior boys. School dress consists of tail coats and pin-striped trousers. Senior boys wear wing collars known as “stick-ups” and white bow ties. Former pupils or “Old Etonians” include twenty prime ministers, from Wal-pole and Pitt the elder to Harold Mac Milan and Sir Alec Douglas-Home in recent times. The writers Shelley, Gray, Aldus Huxley and George Orwell as well as the famous economist, Keynes, were all “Old Etonians”.
