[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are sending them out into the world early if you decide on boarding. They will determine for themselves what to make of the experience and much has to do with the school culture as a whole, since they will be completely influenced by the people and ideas that are expressed as norms around them 24 hours a day. I did as a kid and would never send my children, regardless of academics. Do you live somewhere that has no decent day only option? If there is a decent day school option take that and be an actual presence in your child's life for the last four years. They really need you at this point.[/quote] While I think some teens do need parents 24/7, others really don't, although some parents I think need to believe that for themselves. Boarding school can provide a healthy separation for some at a time when kids are naturally breaking away from parents.[/quote]
