[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I would never send my 14 year old to boarding school and I don't understand those that do. We have so little time with our children as it is.[/quote]

Sounds like the 14-year-old is condemned to a local university where you'll see him every day and do the laundry to prevent self-devastation.

Sure, that's a logical next step.  Kids whose parents don't want them to go to boarding school end up living at home.  Somehow, my parents thought boarding school was a horrible idea and i still ended up at harvard and fully employed and self sufficient.  Who'd have thunk it.  Clearly, i am not alone.[/quote]

To echo that, I went to one of the top 5 institutes in the country and attended public school. So did most of my friends. The few that went to Choate, Exeter, etc had maturity issues. Most failed our first semester which woke them up to the fact that the party was over. So yeah...[/quote]

Since PP have specifics I will too. I went to MIT. Most kids went to public high school.[/quote]
