ABSTRACT
Andrew D. Cohen's account of his education in an all-boys school is productive for what it discloses about experiences of affect, place and relations between boys, as well as systems of reward and recognition that one tends to find in such schools. At any rate, Cohen's account of schooling is available for others to read, especially those of people who might wish to understand the affective experiences of being educated in the company of one's own sex. Of course, private schools traditionally have viewed sport as one of the cornerstones of the type of formation that they provide. The production of stories enables one to sequence events, impose an order on them and cultivate a sense of connection with them, even if such a connection never existed. Stories such as Cohen's show how stories of schooling experiences can be curated and conveyed with affective potential.
