[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chapin posts. How about boarding schools? Choate, Andover, Exeter, Deerfield?[/quote]

Boarding schools don’t have good colleges. Not like NYC private schools. Lots of messed up kids whose parents want then away.[/quote]

The student I know who went to one of the above boarding schools went to an Ivy last year. Exceptionally smart from a supportive family who weren’t trying to get rid of them. Such a weird and deeply negative position to take on whole swaths of students and their families. [/quote]

Right? Crazy. My kid was a day student at an international boarding school. Many of the families were diplomats or had jobs that required a lot of travel so boarding provided stability. I also read about a family that was really hurt by this assumption, they had one child in boarding due to a high needs child at home, and it was a healthier option. Try not to judge, we really know about 5% of what happens in other people’s homes.[/quote]
