JlA,

Make sure you talk it out long and gently with your kids before you ship them off to
boarding school. My sister was an honor roll student from 1st grade all the way to
middle school. My parents like you didn't like what they saw in the public schools, and
all the more so after seeing what it was doing for me, so they sent her to Middleburg
VA for four years of high school at Notredame Academy. She absolutely hated it there
and pined for mom and dad until the feelings were rung out of her. Then she found
ways to drown her sorrows. She went on to collage but never got a degree. She's
working on one now but it'll be tough.
I don't think boarding school is the ticket. Local private schools would be a lot better
since you never give the possibility of cutting the bonds a chance.
Your child may be going there for good reasons, other children are going there
because they are not trustworthy and parents want them under constant supervision -
without having to expend the time. The influence is not perfect just because you are
paying top dollar.

just something to think about.
