[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our extended family has sent many children to various boarding school over the years.  Think this through very, very carefully.  Although some had good experiences, plenty of others experienced sexual abuse (other students or adults in charge), drugs and very mature situations at a too-young age.  The sexual abuse and experimentation stories we've heard from family members is absolutely enough to never consider sending my children.  Think it through very carefully. [/quote]

This happened to a friend of ours.  One child did fine in boarding school.  the other fell into a drug crowd.  The parents were too far away to know what was happening so were surprised to have DC back on the doorstep having been expelled for drug use.  You really have to decide if it is the right decision for your child and that THEY really want it.  Our first kid was not mature enough.  Our second is mature enough but doesn't want to do it.  Listen to what you son is really saying.[/quote]
