Herlufsholm

Rudolf Bertelsen (Dec. 20, 1828 - 1921) was a Danish landscape painter who trained at the Academy and went on to work for 45 years at Herlufsholm (the most prestigious boarding school in Denmark).

The entire Danish boarding school business will undergo review

The entire Danish boarding school business will undergo review

The Danish parliament has decided to act after the terrible news about how some students were treated came into light. Of course some might think: This is normal in our country. Why investigate at all? Yes. Many students in the United States have been molested, died or have left the boarding school suffering from heavy cases of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Also from the United Kingdom news…

The strange Danish boarding school culture

The strange Danish boarding school culture

My last post was about Herlufsholm. Of course this school had it cases over the years but it is certainly not alone. One of the cases that stood out was abuse of a boy at Fenskær which is a kind of boarding school for students with some challenges in their life. A boy had his head put down a toilet with urine, had semen thrown at his head and some anal abuse on the top of it. 3 students were…

Culture of bullying and violence revealed at elite Danish school

A television documentary has deeply shaken the reputation of Herlufsholm, a prestigious boarding school where the children of many of the Da

The Danish parliament has decided to conduct a general review of all boarding schools and not only Herlufsholm where students like they suffered at the Swedish boarding school Lundsberg also was bullied.

What we heard from former students at Herlufsholm was bad. It does not matter that 70-90 percent said that they had a pleasant experience at Herlufsholm. Have read the blog "1000 places you dont want to be as a teenager" I realize that it is often a few students who become victim. Regardless if we are talking bullying, sexual abuse by teachers, such awful things can happen at most boarding schools if the management is not taking their responsibility seriously.

I know from a fact that many parents who send their children to one of the boarding schools known as "Efterskole" do not realize that degree of isolation from social media and cell phones many are exposed to.

Some years ago a boat capsized at sea with a loss of life. The trial revealed that the management did not interfere with teachers who exposed the students to outdoor conditions which would have taken a toll on even experienced elite soldiers. The teacher in charge who was military trained actually acted as he was still in the military and not in charge of children.

Could the students have said no. Not without consequences! Consequence in form of long walks banned in an earlier case against a group home called Atlantis but still used at many boarding schools.

Also allowing children to sleep in the same room is increasing the risk of sex. It is not a question to label sex between persons of the same gender as generally wrong but if both parties does not consent, then it is a criminal act.

No boarding school in Denmark should allow students to sleep in the same room. Now Herlufsholm has changed that so everyone can sleep in their own room. But a lot of boarding school in Denmark allow students to share room and this must be put to a stop!

So I welcome that the Danish government now will investigate the entire boarding school business.

Thank you!
