[quote=Anonymous]No. I wouldn’t need Kleenex if I didn’t “send my kid away”.   I would, however,  need Kleenex (or a new brain) if I thought that all adolescents developed on the same timeline as American teens (who are woefully slow and immature on any global meausure....including two in my brood who would not thrive in a place requiring so much independence, courage, and sense of self- those two thrive in a nest with me and a day school  ). I am curious how many hours of quality time a night you spend with your teenager?  Most boarding school kids cite more quality hours spent with their parents than day students cite.  Breaks are much longer at boarding and those times are 100 percent devoted to connecting..not homework drills. Teenaged day students, like my other two, live with their parents but have at most one hour a night of quality interaction with a parent.   Hassling a child to do homework does not count as quality time according to teenagers.  If you have the good fortune of being a stay at home parent than you may have more quality time than most, which is great and commendable.
