Thanks so much Boardingschoolx2
Day kids aren’t allowed in dorms.
And we did invite out. It took Herculean efforts to organize. That was part of the issue. Unreachable kids. We needed to file paperwork in triplicate and have it in midweek in order to go into town and have a soda on Saturday and that doesn’t work. (That’s an exaggeration, but not too far off)
They are working on connecting with day students. It may work out in the end. I’m very encouraging of anything social.
I used to recommend boarding schools wholeheartedly, my oldest went to one many years ago as both a day and boarding student. Different school of course. They had more opportunities not less.
