[quote=Anonymous]I lived in the UK for a few years. There is a huge discussion of "Boarding School Syndrome", which is believed to be characterized by lack of empathy and difficulties forming relationships. It isn't an official diagnosis, and there hasn't been a lot of research. What people do note is that the Conservative Party MPs who have been running the country for 14 years seem to have a distinct lack of empathy, and they are largely boarding school alums. I think it is difficult to learn to be a functioning person if you are doing most of your learning from other tweens. It is your parents' example of adulthood that you learn from.[/quote]
