BOARDING SCHOOL OR HOMESCHOOLING YOU NOW CAN DO BOTH WITH TECHNOLOGY.
Should put your child into a boarding school or not, that is the question.
It is not always an easy decision as there are people who live very far from schools, and it is difficult to get them there every day.
They are safe there and most boarding schools do not have bad food.
Except maybe the one I was in.
I do not eat pasta and that seems to be a staple food in boarding schools.
Yet I lived through it and had many friends. You had no time for yourself, as there was a homework period after lunch and then we all had to do some kind of activity.
I use to have ballet, and could get away a little from school as the ballet teacher lived a little distance from the school and I could walk outside and see all the houses.
I missed my parents very much, as you only see them every second weekend it was a rule.
So boarding school for children can be an excellent idea. But it can also be a way of parents having more time for them if they wanted it.
Not all children go to boarding school because they live far from school; some go so that the parents can get rid of them without feeling bad.
I got back from ballet and we all had to go and shower for dinner, which was another nightmare to me as I love bathing and we all had to shower together, but that was life.
Then there were children who absolutely loved the boarding school. They loved all the friends and communication between us. But I would have gone for home schooling if it was available in those days.
The home school only started long after I had left school and I can assure you it is one of the best things that happened. Children could stay with their parents on farms and enjoy life with the animals ,eat decent and have conversations with their parents, instead of just a short phone call.
So one of the reasons I think home schooling is wonderful is that the children can stay with their parents and leave when it is time.
Children grow up so fast and if they are away 80% of the time, can you imagine how quickly they grow up. So for me home schooling would have been wonderful and I would have known my parents a lot better although I looked after them until they passed away.
So parent’s think before you put your child into a boarding school, it is not always the only way to get them an education anymore.
Because of technology they can grow up at home and become wonderfully happy children.
I am just giving my opinion so please this is something that has to be discussed at home with the parents, and the child. Everyone is different and they might feel totally different about boarding school than I did.
Have a wonderful day from me and enjoy your children.
Children should not be boarding school. Do we keep them as close to you as possible? The more we understand them. When the children are away, their thinking perception changes
I totally agree with you.
No children should not be sent on boarding school
Really boarding school was a nightmare to me , of course the bond between the friends comes closer but we terribly miss parents , home food , neighbours and relatives . Moreover one could not get better social skills when placed in boarding school . I completely agree with you opinion @bigbear . Thanks for your insights .
Thank you I hated it as well. Always missed home.
Yes with the help of technology now long distance can be covered in friction of seconds.now you have boarding school or homeschool no matter you have both offer.
It has given us a choice, that I feel should be decided by the family. Thank you for reading my post.
I think the success of either will depend on the child and the situation. I think that homeschooling can be a tremendous learning opportunity and a fantastic way for parents and children to create stronger bonds. As a parent and teacher my biggest concern with homeschooling is the ability for children to socialize and experience those daily interactions with other kids. Be these good, bad or whatever, it is important for kids to learn how to deal with these interactions. I know that homeschooled children can get those experiences through play dates and other activities but its learning how to deal with a variety of situations that is a valuable experience. I like the idea of a mix as you are suggesting. Again, this will depend oh the child and the family.
Thank you so much for reading my post, I just get very few that really read, always nice post or pictures.
I agree with you it is not a easy matter, and children should learn to socialise thank you.
It is sad to say but some parent do put their kids in boarding school just to get rid of them. The school where I work is a boarding school with 90% of our learners in the hostels. There are so many kids here who has been dumped by their parents.
It is so sad we have them for such a short time thank you for reading my post.
