[quote=Anonymous]So far I have seen five good reasons for borading school: 1 -- the family has done it before it (parents and DC used to idea) 2 -- the child REALLY wants to go because it seems like fun or there is something special and unique about THAT school 3 -- the family lives in an area or a country where there are no better options 4 -- the family/child prefer boarding to being a day student at that same school (logistics and activities and friends) and the one I haven't seen mentioned yet: 5 -- the parents are divorced (or divorcing, or dating, or remarrying) and the child wants/needs a little stability/predictiability. To date, with my DC's friends and with my own friends who went to boarding school, everyone who has fallen into one of those five categories has done well away from home. Those who haven't, haven't. However, BS is not for everyone and YMMV... [/quote]
