[quote=Anonymous]DD went to boarding school. I would argue that the academics are similar to what's offered at the rigorous DMV privates. It's the other aspects of BS that makes these schools fantastic. It's more like supported college--DD learned independence, self advocacy, time management, conflict resolution, managing disappointment, and roommate squabbles. After 4 years of BS, college is a non issue. She already did the freshman 15. She has become the default RA on her floor. She was an RA at BS and she just naturally carried it over to college. She plans small gatherings, notices when people are not being included or are mopey, mediates between roommates when people come to her, and has been able to really excel in the academics because 1) she's not learning to live on her own and 2) she was academically prepared.
