<p>We never considered boarding schools for our kids. We did look at private high schools (as a day student) for one of our kiddos.</p>
<p>To be honest, we wanted our kids at home with us until high school graduation. We had plenty of day options to consider. The cost of boarding school was a factor too. To be honest, if they had insisted (we know how to say no, so this would have been unlikely) they would have been on their own for all college costs. </p>
<p>I’m sorry, but as a parent, the answer would have been NO here too…and no amount of begging would have changed our minds.</p>
