<p>As someone who works for a boarding school and have visited a number of other boarding schools over the past 10 years I have seen a lot of growth in students from all socio economic backgrounds who come through these programs. The relationships that are built by caring adults are KEY to their success moving to the next phase of life. frenchcamp.org</p>
<p>@GMTplus7 - I believe you are one of the more senior (and wiser) members of the CC community. As such, I suspect you know this has issue has been discussed at length.</p>
<p>So was wondering what the catalyst was for you starting this thread?</p>
<p>^^ OP, did you abandon this thread already?</p>
<p>Jersey: This thread was resurrected from last November. Perhaps GMT thinks its run its course as it didn’t get much traction.</p>
<p>^^ My bad. Thanks.</p>
<p>@Jersey,
What prompted me to start this thread was a discussion in another thread were the OP asked as if it was a self-evident truth why would parents opt for boarding school except, of course, to get child into an ivy?</p>
