[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm writing an article on shifting trends in junior boarding education and would love to interview any parents or students who have boarded at ages 14 and younger. If you're interested, please respond to this post and I will send you my email address. Thank you![/quote] I attended boarding school at 13 for one year, and it was an escape from my parents messy divorce and other serious problems. It was a progressive co-ed school. I was terribly homesick for my friends and felt I was missing out socially. I had a hard time fitting in because I am slightly introverted and did not make friends easily. Intellectually is was very good and when I went back to public high school I was ahead in foreign language, literature, etc. Although I wasn't happy, I think looking back, it was a good experience because it opened my eyes to travel, other cultures, and taught me to be very independent.[/quote]
