note that i didn't say live at some idealized version of high school, i just said live at high school. not college. high school.

lbftw....that's the point...my son does consider his bs to be an "idealized" version of hs. He absolutely loves it as did his older brother. I would have loved it too.

Given a choice of attending high school or not, my son would opt out. So, no he wouldn't want to live at a place he would rather avoid. A year ago his answer might have been, "No, I wouldn't want to live at high school. I'm not sure I want to go to high school at all."

A semester in to boarding school -- a decision that was entirely up to him -- his answer as to whether he would live at his current school (not some abstract concept of any old high school) is delivered with conviction. There's no doubt about where he stands on this. No waffling. He won't have it any other way. In fact, he's surprised at how much he's enjoying high school and how much being a boarder has to do with that.

Of course his choice is personal and he wouldn't presume to extrapolate that into a universal truth applicable to all.

well, that's good that he likes it. i'm just saying, most people (in my experience) don't.
