While I disagree with ibfts's method of deivering his message to us, I agree with others here that he did make valid points that we might want to explore. The issue of dorm supervisors/dorm mothers, etc. having their own lives and therefore not paying enough attention to our kids is of a concern to me. I wonder how they balance taking care of their own young children, wearing many hats and being available to our kids. It's not always a good situation. Our kids are on their own quite a bit and there are certainly positives and negatives associated with that. While I absolutely believe that boarding school is not for everyone, I also believe that those who willingly choose it and want to succeed, can do so wonderfully. IBFTW, I would like to learn more of what parents and kids should look out for from you, and others, based on your experiences, if you don't mind sharing. We're all trying to do good things for our kids. Let's try to do it in a constructive way.
