Is boarding school beneficial to children?

guys over here many among us have been sent to boarding and many haven't been sent at all...........so what u think should children be sent to boarding or no...............?????????????????????

[callmearun]

hi guys ... this is arun here ... i am very new to MP ..

[deepakraam]

Parents send their children to boarding school when its not feasible for them to take care of their child or when the child is failing in studies so that they feel putting the child in a boarding school will make them better.Boarding school has its own postives and negatives.The child will grow in the atmosphere of ppl like them.So this makes them to learn about the co-operation,competition.But they miss their parents love at a time when they need it the most.Children become more responsible when they know what they need to do and when they take care of their activities.Those habits make them self-dependant but speaking from emotional point of view they don't enjoy those benefits when they can enjoy them.So my take on this topic would be it depends on the individual basis.There are examples where a child has grown better in a boarding school and a lot more examples where the other case also has happened.

boardng schools provide gr8 learnings to th children..

[manthan_479]

[macwan_hemilton]

[manthan_479]

acc to me....no child sud be send to boarding school..unless sum serious issues b/w parents like divorce or single parent exist........

sending him just to discipline him is bullshit.................

[ahilyak]

Good question. Highly debatable, but I will share views of mine and atleast a 100 others with whom I studied for 9 years at Sanawar.

Send your kids to Boarding schools in South, like Lovedale etc. In sanawar you will find only dumb kin of bull working farmers.

Within a month of joining in Sanawar.. you will begin to speak like a rickshawpuller or a road side urchin. Within 4-5 months you will compeletely lose touch with education and spend all your time cleaning the school premises with your fellow mates.. at the end of the day .. you get food that even your well groomed pet dog will refuse to eat.. now you can imagine where all the millions we pay pay as fees is going..?? being eaten away some governing body corrupt people.. and the woes go on..

boarding is some wht helpful,,,,,,,,,,in boarding d child comes to know d value of parents ......they come to know about d surrounding........dey prepare themselves to tackle d situation after coming on public platform.......but dis is not obvious for all child.....its depends how dey learn

[ravisinha]

Boarding School can be the best thing that can happen to a child if the choice of the school is good.
-They learn to be independant
-They learn to respect relationships after staying away from their close ones.
-They learn to interact with people from diverse background and communities.
-They learn the soft skills alongwith the necessary education.
-They tend to learn all the games and sports
-More importantly they learn to participate in events and even organize them.
_They are not shy of anything.

[srinatharao]

I don't aggree, It really depend on the kid. The top boarding schools can be excellent for very mature kids who need more than their local schools offer academically and socially. The schools know who will benefit, so chances are if your kid can get in, they will thrive.

[pahuja.chirag]

boarding makes children away from their parents. hence the affection between parents and children lacks here. i will say that boarding schools are not good.........

[Sheba]

Can any one let me know what is Management Paradise rupees that is highlighted under everyone's profile. Do we need to pay anything as membere???????????????.

[architsureka]

well i dont think so....

boarding school did help me mature....

[ravisinha]

I have studied in a boarding school since Class III.
I went to christian missionary schools in Darjeeling and Mussoorie.
They are not very expensive like the top league boarding schools but they are committed to making you an independant and selfless person.

I too stayed away from my parents and I was the only son.
I respect my parents more now. Every small holiday, I go back to them even after my marriage alongwith my Kids and Wife. So its not true that the bond between parents and the child decreases.

Children can be moulded but only upto a certain age. This age is coming down quickly. If you keep your children for a long time with you and then send them to a boarding school then definitely they would not be moulded much by the school.

So, to get the best out of a boarding school the child should be admitted by Class V.

[Jonna]

like evry coin has 2 sides.....sending children to boarding has its pros n cons....

children become independent....their decision making skills improves....etc....

bt most of d tym children gt detached frm their family....:SugarwareZ-218:

[peter2008]

According to me no boarding school is not beneficial to children this is because the way children are nourished and enhance in the care of parents that doesn't happen in boarding schools. Atleast there is a vigilance kept by parents all the time what the children are doing.

its good upto a certain extent as kids leard to be self dependent. they learn how to do all their work themselves

[tna0405]

yes...they have to be independent...children nowadays are too dependent on their parents..

[aditiupreti]

yes.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

[yk_srk]

boarding school...i have not been to one, but i feel with every thing in this world, there are some positive and negative aspects associated. since i have nt been to a boarding school therefore i cant really comment on the issue, but i wud like to share my hostel experince while pursuing MBA. a hostelier is definitely more confident and independent than a guy who has never been to an alien city on his own. hostel life gives a feeling of independence an responsibilites. your life, your view, your opinions but also it tells you nt to corss the line. i think same process go on in a boarding school, where child get to manage his or her own tasks, makes him independent, makes him take a stand, a confident person, but at very tender age, things can go a little nasty, like senior junior relationship, especially if an adolscnet is being inducted into a boarding school. so all in all if u tryst ur ward, and keep checks on him or her, boarding school can be a great place, but for parents hu send their children to boarding school so as to shun their responsibilities, thinking boarding will take care of their ward, they tend to be horribly wrong.

[akhila acharya]

in a way yes and in a way no
The child in his formative years explores more when given a proper guidence
so when he's small he should be with his parents

[piyali]

boarding schools r in a way beneficial as they mould children properly and aptly....hence overall growth is achieved.

[CITYBOY]

yes....................its beneficial yar ofcourse

[username123]

not always beneficial. what about the students who get into bad company there?

[jogabonito]

i think that boarding schools make kids more independent and able to deal with various situations plus its a lotta fun...

[CITYBOY]

but in case of boarding school . proper control must be there

[neha archana]

hi every body i'm sending this message to share my views on the given debate topic :SugarwareZ-241: in my view every thing has both aspect so first of all i'll say that it is very dangerous for the children to live without their family bcoz there should be someone to understand the fillings of children and care them but it is impossible for someone else to understand them.they will fullfill those things in other ways and will very dangerous for children as well as for society:SugarwareZ-241::SugarwareZ-241:
but in other side it will give them competition to face and oppurtunity to prove themslves. they will get practical knowledge along with team work and help in understand the other things:SugarwareZ-282:

[shwethaganesh]

boarding school is good.. but only after a certain age.. sending a kid to a boarding at a very earlier age would spoil the relationship between the parents and the child.. on the other hand the child could get quite responsible.. there are both advantages and disadvantages..

[bhasha]

Boarding schools makes students more responsible.

[saurabhjainelx]

boarding school is not at all beneficial to students bcoz it deprive child from his basic right of getting love from parents ( i.e. the nearness to parents )

[anks408]

acc to me it help making the children more independent n they learn to manage things themself which is heplful fr them in near future

[swapnil.sri]

they teach you to be independent and self reliance.... u really learn a lot when not under protective shelters of parents

boasrding school are not gud for children , unless n untill if parents hav some serious issue...just sending dem to boarding school for better education is not gud enuf...in case of ppl living in villages ...the case is justified........

[angels_smile]

boarding school makes a child more independent ..more ready to face the challlanges of the world but at the same time it parts you awaya from the family and you become little indifferent towards emotions...

[khaitansaket]

boarding is helpful to students sometimes as they gets disciplined but the school should be good

[archana_shettigar]

Well i have never been to boarding school..........but i have seen my cousins who hav been 2 boarding complaning abt food quality and feeling home sick

[frnzz4evrr]

[sam mehta]

i think its perfectly o to send your wards to boarding school, but the question is in what age. initial shaping up in the family is as nesessary as schooling.

[mohit.luv]

Yes, it gives them enough time and space to develop their skills without any boundations of families as well as the child will get the feel of competition and self dependency.

Thanks

[manjukadam]

[nandithaadithya]

Hey ..........i feel children should send to boarding schools when they reach high school....................

[mahesh_ibs]

no boarding school r a disaster 4 the childrens the small kids r harrassed & tortured so this should nt happen

[prasadgoa]

It is true that boarding schools provide quality of education, decipline. But there are some things only parents can teach, like values in life

[Prateek87]

i feel that boarding schools have a lot more "pluses" than we restrict ourselves to... not only is the child given freedom to develop, he builds strength of character, a streetsmartness that is essential in this cut throat world and is far more aware of the things happpening around him due to the excellent time table that they adhere to. a good boarding school education is far better than staying at home with mommy and daddy.

[akankshya]

yes bcoz it helps them to grow individually without being much dependant on their parents and this creats the self confidence as well as the the individualism which is very much required at a different stage of life. this inculcates discipline, time boundness and other qualities like giving others a space in your life etc. so it is important

[amruta08]

it depends on parents n kid ..at times kids need parents when they are growing up..such kids should stay with parents ..and some kids are very proactive towards any situation, they can take boarding school life in their stride..

So such kids can b sent to boarding school.

[gaurav_41283]

yes boarding school helps us to grow upon ourself.
we are tought to survive on ourself

[madronny]

boardng schools provide gr8 learnings to th children..

[karelg]

For parents who want to see their child getting education excellence, better prospect, then boarding school is a right choice. One key advantage in attending private schools is the opportunity for academic excellence. A good boarding school deepens the student's interests and commitment to learning. Private school students range from average to superior academic ability. Virtually all private boarding schools are preparatory for college. (Some private boarding schools also serve students prior to grades 9-12.) There are also Specialty Boarding Schools specifically designed to help teens that are struggling in their home, school, or community. These type of private schools offer fine emotional growth educational and character building components to go alongside a traditional boarding school educational environment.
In the typical boarding school, many of the faculty members have advanced degrees. But at these secondary school teachers are not to be confused with college professors. A private school teacher must understand the different needs, attitudes and interests of adolescents. Some private schools have programs for students with special needs. Just as important as the school's academic quality is the social education it offers. Through the boarding experience, students learn responsible behavior, citizenship, social responsibility and interaction. As well as the ability to positively interact with peers and increased ability to study and increase their learning abilities.

[anoop489]

no its not. bcoz children need parents love in those ages. so boarding school can make a distance between them

[ashpt33]

yes they teach them how to be independent..

[vaibhav.gaydhani]

Children need emotional security and need not be put in boarding school till they are atleast 10 years old.

[bhaktikotecha]

Yes i thihnk it ia absolutely beneficial to the kids... bu tonly at an appropriate age . I say this beacuse if the kids are too small they require parents nurturing and care... but after a certain age they need to be set free.. to learn on their own and fight their own situations... this helps them develop emotionally and makes them stronger human beings with a point of view of their own...

[vikrantverma]

YEAH, boarding schools are very beneficial for the all round development of the kid.
i know boarding schools too have some pitfalls, but nothing is perfect in this world.
but they are betther than normal schools in ways like:-
they work for the 360degree development of the kid.
they are best teachers of descipline.
teach to handle adverse situations with ease.
have a good scope for overall development as academics and sports being kept mandatory.
kids stay away from parents, so they learn to take decisions without parents, and dont have to hold parent's hand everytime for every decision.

[adnankhan]

No, It's not. But It Depend on the Child how he takes it.

[me123]

yeah it is coz they learn to manage themselves and conduct their life in an orderly manner they can learn alot more in a boarding school and have better groomed personalities

[nehask8@gmail.com]

defintely...boarding schools help in developing the adjusting nature at a very young age. this helps in long run..

[sharad.cyberspace]

boarding school prepares a child to face the real world, he became independent and can himself lead his life, its not that he will be totally cutoff from his/her family, there are holidays when parents can shower love on there dear ones.

[vikrantverma]

well, it's a 50-50 scenario for me.
coz we all know that the level of education and exposure given to students in boarding schools in way better than in normal schools. there kids live away from the family and learn and lot, most importantly self confidence and decision making power.

but the problem is, the there is no vigilence from parents, and kids are smart enough to fool the system of boarding school.

[SHAIL2008]

yup in my opinion boarding school is what i think is the right thing that parents can do because i ve seen infact i ve frends who paased out from boarding school ,they are so organised, structured ,they how n what to speak to people very well ...they know how to tackle problems very easily when they are out to corporate world they are full of confidence ,problems dnt take over dem ,dey find problem n rectifies them,,,they become self independent.

[neha20092009]

It really depend on the kid. The top boarding schools can be excellent for very mature kids who need more than their local schools offer academically and socially. The schools know who will benefit, so chances are if your kid can get in, they will thrive.
