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.

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.

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.

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.
