[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an idea: how about we assume everyone is doing what’s best for them, rather than proclaiming what should be done? I went to boarding school and had/still have a loving relationship with my parents.[/quote]

This. Spouse went to boarding school a nerdy virgin, graduated boarding school a nerdy virgin, and still ended up close to family.

Go figure.[/quote]

Lol same: nerdy virgin who didn't touch drugs all through it.  Boarding school was great for me -- I wasn't bullied the way I had been in public school for one thing.  On the other hand I have a friend from the same school who attended as a day student; she might have been happier at a different type of school, although a lot of her challenges were related to being a teenager, so I'm not sure.  An acquaintance at that school might also have been better off with more parental supervision but since her parents' response to her getting kicked out was to send her to finishing school in Europe, I assume they would have been equally uninvolved if she had been home.[/quote]
