Sorry NeLLyRaE, but the guy's an adult, not a kid. It took until post #83 before he began to back up his conclusory warnings of large-scale disaster. He wasn't sharing his experience as you say. It wasn't until early this morning that we got some meaningful information about his experience. Prior to that he refused to discuss his experience in any useful way.

His point is accurate for some, but not all. He started out making a blanket assertion that boarding school is wrong for everyone (except for the St. Paul's applicant who he encouraged in a backhanded way) and that sort of advice is as preposterous as someone saying boarding school is right for everyone. He's been fighting a straw man: the person who thinks BS is right for everyone. Nobody here makes that claim. Nobody.
