@erlanger, I don’t disagree with you, which is part of why when we went looking for schools, we were asking the question for ourselves, “Is it possible to find a boarding school where admins realize that kids are kids and that overscheduling is not the only way to point them toward the straight and narrow?” The (tentative) answer we got was, “Yes it is possible.” So we’re going to try it out. But I’m really happy that the local alternative, should BS not work out, is a strong day school that views character as something to be cultivated, not forged, and creativity to be in the eye of the beholder, not the molder. ;)
