[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid a very long time ago, I lived in Australia. My mom made friends with a British diplomat who had for kids who were like B7, G6, B5, and G4. The two boys attended boarding school in England. They would fly by themselves, which involved an overnight in an hotel in Hong Kong, I think there was some arrangement with flight attendants who would take care of them. My mom heard this and was horrified. So, she told the mom it was sexist, and that if the schools in Australia were good enough for the girls, they were surely good enough for the boys. The mom came back and thanked my mom and said she really appreciated the insight and she and her husband had had a long talk and of course my mom was right, so they were sending all 4. My understanding is that English boarding schools no longer serve kids that young, and that 7 is usually the youngest age to start. [/quote]
