<p>I am interested if anyone has considered any British boarding schools instead of/along with American ones? </p>
<p>BTW, I put prep in quotes because a Brit prep school is for those between 8 and 13.</p>
<p>Yes, I attended one for a year on exchange with the English Speaking Union, when I was in BS here in the States. I investigated them for my children recently (and I also live in DC at the moment, so if you want to PM, pls do so). British public schools – a term somewhat out of fashion these days – have a lot to offer. Financial aid can be difficult, if that’s important (it was for us). Cheers!</p>
<p>fif believes that British Public Schools still employ flogging as punishment.
Tom Brown’s School Days and all that…</p>
<p>fif is horribly mistaken. In fact these days British Public schools are probably safer than American boarding schools.</p>
<p>Are you sure? Just the other day fif watched “Goodbye Mr. Chips” and it seemed that flogging was still bsing used.</p>
<p>fif are you just being sarcastic or do you seriously think this is true?</p>
<p>The Bitish Sedbergh is also very safe, and very happy!</p>
<p>I’m sure a British school is safer than an American school, seeing as how Great Britain is easily 100 times safer than the United States…</p>
