[quote=Anonymous]Our family has several members who went to boarding school.

My mother went to bs because she was orphaned at a young age. She had a scholarship to an elite boarding school. It was very difficult socially because of the wealth and families of the other students. However, it was a good education and she lived a very different life after school than she would have been able to live if she had not gone to the school.

My FIL went to an eastern boarding school because his father suffered from health issues and retired at a very young age. It was a great success for him – went to Ivy, very successful. It boosted his social EQ tremendously and he is very charming and personable yet tough when he needs to be.

My nephew teaches at a military boarding school. He went to boarding school due to both illness in the family and lack of a good school where he lived. Some of his students friended me on fb. They are extremely proud of themselves and doing well in life (after school is over and they are adults). The number of people who are successful in life after military boarding school is extensive.
