Boarding School
What is your views on boarding school, did you are you children attend or would you consider sending children to boarding school. I had family who went to boarding school and they hated it had a long term affect on them as well. I think you can have a good enough education at day school! Do parents do it for the sake of the kids are themselves!

it used to be an opportunity to get a better education for the children of Air force parents.
I suppose the parents may have felt that a paid for education at a highly regarded school was a good opportunity.
It probably also depends on the child. I dont that that any of the boarders that were in my year (i was day pupil) had any problems with it.

It was the finest thing we did for our son and it was what he wanted to do. He had the choice of the local school or the one he went to. It broke my heart when he went there at 11. It certainly wasn't to get him from under our feet, far from it. It was because the school catered specifically for a talent he had. I worked hard to pay for him to go there. I don't like our local school - small town and insular.
I would have loved him to have been at home. But he had a lovely time, met people from all walks of life, and became very confident and self sufficient.
It depends on the child and I we did for our child not for ourselves. I wish people would think before they make stupid sweeping statements like Mosaic.
Red, you probably know where my son went. Not to far away from you or from us which a fantastic reputation.

object to a few of the answers - we turned down a lot of luctrative jobs because the schooling conditions weren't right - my kids were raised in Africa and it was an accepted fact that most kids went to boarding school (and no, most of them weren't scarred for life) 9n the right environment it taught them independence, self awareness and the ability to take life's knocks. Both of them are very successfull in their chosen careers and love their Mum and Dad to pieces. It depends on the parents, the kids and the school. There is no formula.
Hi JJ. I don't know why oscarina even bothered with this occasion. She didn't even consider the answers and she obviously knows nothing about boarding schools or families. I wonder if she even considers or asks her children what they would like. My son had a great time and wanted to go and, my goodness, what a huge difference it has made to his life. He has travelled, has friends all over the world and is so self-confident.
As for the heartache, the only heartache was mine. I missed him!! He didn't miss me!!
