[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my child were that talented and wanted to go, I would not hesitate to set her free. In my country, many talented youths were placed in academic and athletic boarding schools.  It was the norm for these children.  [/quote]

Communist Bloc?  There is a whole lot going on with these athletes that is abnormal.[/quote]

I went to one of those communist super athlete farms and I turned out just fine. We never had any abuse and both girls and boys dormitories were adequately monitored; in bed by 10pm (usually 9pm) at the latest and all homework needed to be done. I would say majority of the staff were there to keep us focused and they were all well-vetted. I was also never offered any "enhancing" drugs. Comparing farm boarding schools to other Soviet schools and nutrition in general, we had an excellent spread in our dining hall. Anything your heart desires and more. Our education was also highly scrutinized and we had the same curriculum, but much better teachers as your regular Soviet school kid. Anything your heart desires and more. We're talking the late 80s/early 90s when things were really tough over there.

I think things started to get crazy lately, because of the $$$ involved. [/quote]
