Parents of the Edwardian era did not see things in the same light as we do.
Most fathers of the social classes using the schools would have been ex-prep school boys themselves, often sending their sons to the same school.
So it was traditional and accepted.
The fathers would have known the hardships that their sons would face, but it was looked upon as a preparation for the battle of life ahead, and the sooner the boy learned to tough it out, the better.
It was the character-building, stiff upper lip syndrome, but it was believed in absolutely.
