[quote=Anonymous]I think it is easy to judge OP and ask why their family would enroll their son in boarding school so young. I also couldn’t imagine my DCs being out of my sight for longer than a school day. But as a second gen immigrant, I also remember the old family stories of walking to school barefoot and being whipped for answering classroom questions incorrectly. While these exact examples may or may not exist in today’s times, it can be useful to fully understand another person’s cultural background and upbringing before rushing to judgment about what they should or shouldn’t do. Depending on where you from, even purely from a class (SES) perspective, your tolerance for certain conditions will differ. Especially in cultures that value the elders over children. I can say this about the culture I grew up in, you are expected respect elders, to toughen up and not complain.[/quote]
