My S is almost the youngest even in his grade. Although he is quite mature for his age physically and mentally, I am still concerned if it would be the right decision to send him to a boarding school where he is 1 or 2 years younger than many (?) of his classmates. I just think it is unfair (oh well I know the “life is unfair” mentra) to put him in an disvantaged position and still ask for the same kind of leadership, maturity etc.
