[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of drugs and alchohol. [/quote] +1000000000000! --- Parent of former boarding school student. No one there has time to care about your son or daughter, the way you do at home. [/quote] 17:58 here. I don't think there are necessarily more drugs and alcohol at boarding schools than at public schools (there may actually be less, because it's more difficult to purchase drugs and alcohol in a remote Massachusetts or New Hampshire town than in a city). But it is so much easier to start using them, because as the poster above points out, boarding school faculty and dorm parents simply don't have the resources to police it. And the fact is that there's no reason for them to care that much, either, unless it affects students' grades, athletic performance, or the school's reputation. [/quote]
