Perhaps so, but it would be naive to think that they don’t. Boarding schools want you at their school - particularly if your kids have good grades and are gaining admission to multiple schools. And the issues we encountered were not outright deception. More like a failure to present the full picture and an interest in covering up some of the less appealing aspects of the school.
I know this board is pro-boarding school, as are we as a family. But no school is perfect. I just want to share some questions we could have asked that would have helped us learn a bit more about the school.
