Does it makes sense to consider boarding school?

classicalmama writes, “If she’s truly excited and interested, keep exploring, but know that boarding school has its own set of challenges and difficulties along with its many benefits and gifts, and it is decidedly not for every teen, no matter how talented.”

As a parent exploring boarding school for the first time, it would be helpful to hear about the challenges and difficulties from parents with experience. The opportunities are appealing, but would also love to hear about the other side to this.
