[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boarding school if they want the very best for their child.[/quote]

Private day school if they really love (and like) their child. [/quote]

Spoken like someone who has no knowledge of boardings school, or is jealous because they aren't willing to spend that much money for their children to have a superior experience. [/quote]

Superior, how? 🙄

No, spoken like someone who loves her children and actually enjoys spending time with them. My children have attended a “Big 3” since kindergarten. Money and/or jealousy isn’t the issue.

Btw, I’ll send my children to “boarding school” when they’re 18. It’s called college. I’m in no rush…unlike you. [/quote]

Pretty much everyone I know who went to boarding school loved it. And worked hard to be able to give their kids that same opportunity. The only anti-boarders are the clueless who have zero first-hand experiences and/or those who can't afford it.[/quote]

I know at least a dozen people who graduated from a variety of boarding schools. Off the top of my head, they attended: Deerfield, Choate, Phillips Exeter, Phillips Andover, and Madeira (boarding, not day). Only the Madeira alum sent her daughter to boarding school (also Madeira). The others refused to even consider boarding school. [/quote]
+1 . The level of drug abuse was cited as one of the reasons why not to send a child to boarding school.[/quote]

Yeah, thankfully no kids are on drugs at the big 3 or W schools...  :roll: [/quote]

If your child attends a Big 3, and you see and speak to said child everyday, you should know if your child is using drugs and alcohol. If you (allegedly) don’t know, then that’s your problem. That’s a parenting failure.

Look, some of you don’t want to do the hard work of parenting your child on a daily basis. That’s what boarding schools are for. Please own your choice and stop trying to convince those of us who know better. The idea that boarding school students receive a superior education to those students who attend Big 3, or elite private day schools in NYC, Boston, or LA is laughable. Boarding school students are no more prepared for the academic rigor of a top college than the aforementioned students. [/quote]
