Problems at Boarding Schools

<p>[FOX</a> News Puts Egypt on the Wrong Continent! - Christopher di Spirito - Open Salon](<a href=“http://open.salon.com/blog/christopher_di_spirito/2009/07/28/fox_news_puts_egypt_on_the_wrong_continent]FOX”>http://open.salon.com/blog/christopher_di_spirito/2009/07/28/fox_news_puts_egypt_on_the_wrong_continent)</p>

<p>Pulsar, you create a terrible first impression to kids and parents who are exploring this site for the first time. And for the vast majority of us regulars, it is like listening to someone suffer an uncontrollable bowel movement…Pulsar this, Pulsar that. The commentary just spews forth with little or no thought. It’s not funny, it’s not helpful, it’s not something to be proud of. It is a problem for this section of CC because it is ruining the user experience of so many.</p>

<p>And realize this: you annoy the bright, caring kids who come to this site just as much as the adults. Do you think the kids who are considering boarding school or those kids who already attend and are kind enough to offer their counsel actually identify with your behavior, see you as a fellow traveler? I don’t think so.</p>

<p>If you care at all about the quality of this site and the people who come here, then lighten up, please. Stop trying to be the center of attention. It’s nauseating.</p>

<p>You can’t deny Fix News has a gigantic bias though, they can find the downside of anything Obama or any critic does and exploit it to no end for their own benefit.</p>

<p>Parlabane, As you are well aware, calling some of the people that don’t agree with your opinions BEAST is the QUALITY of some of the people that come here on CC. Give me some examples of how the quality of this site is effected by my posts. Everyone has a right to be on CC, not the ones that are in BS lalaland! Most of you on this site have already kids in BS, sold on its idea, and would love to pass it on to the newcomers. They need to know BOTH SIDES of the story, not just the rosy side of most of you BS cheerleaders. Have you forgotten how you cheerleaders jump on grinzing and quantman who may NOT have had such a great BS experience? If you want to hear only your side of a story, you can start your own website.</p>

<p>^ But isn’t this statement hypocritical? Weren’t you the one who was surprised to find out about the andover statistics about sex and drugs?</p>

<p>Hypocritical? Vacuous? Pulsar? :smiley: :D</p>

<p>I already said you are one heck of a cheerleading crowd, lol. Hi, Mainer welcome to the crowd, makes it one bigger. TomTheCat posted all that on other threads. I simply referred to info that is already posted. Go check the threads and start doing some real work of reading than posting useless comments.</p>

<p>…useless comments… (hypocrite)</p>

<p>Pulsar - I second the comments by Parlabane. It’s time for you to quiet down or go away.</p>

<p>Pulsar has wasted 4 perfectly good pages of a thread trying to ■■■■■ for issues that quite frankly aren’t being reported.</p>

<p>There is nothing wrong with asking what has disappointed you about YOUR boarding school experience when you have a legitimate concern, but Pulsar seems to have a history of knocking BS, which makes his/her effort fall flat. </p>

<p>If parents have concerns about boarding school based upon their own child’s makup, they come here and ask and there seem to be plenty of members who talk about their child’s similar experience and not always the positive. </p>

<p>Let’s not feed the ■■■■■.</p>

<ul>
<li>maturity of student a age of 15</li>
<li>freedom without responsibility</li>
<li>detached from the family</li>
<li>health issue</li>
<li>smart kids become average, become lack of confidence</li>
<li>Better for “potential Nobel Prize Winners”</li>
