No school is going to be all nice kids. Because boarding is a relatively rare choice in the US, and extremely expensive, t[b]he families tend to be atypical in some way (affluence usually). Or unusual family situation/structure.[/b] But of course those kids can still be nice.[/quote]

This isn't really true at all.  Did your kids go to boarding school?  This might be the perception but not the reality.[/quote]

[b]My spouse went, my relatives went, young relatives attend now.[/b] My spouse’s boarding school friends are nice people (mostly) but down to a one they are from extremely rich families and/or have unusual backgrounds (parents overseas or dead, things like that). My spouse included. I’m sure there are families who do not meet that description but many do.[/quote]
