My mom thinks that the idea of boarding school is part of some “rebellious phase”. They way I got my mom tools into it was by breaking it down to three points that help her see it my way.
- It is a great program, usually with better teachers and classes.
- Can look good on college applications. And finally one that is more situational.
- I've been having a hard time at home (my parents are divorced and I've never really felt like I belonged in the household I've grown up in--my mother has primary custody) and it will be easier to focus on school in a place where I'm away from family.
