Boarding school - good idea or bad idea?

14? 2 weeks between visits?

I started boarding school when I was 7, in fact a week before my 7th birthday, and it never did me any harm.

You are not a representative sample.

[MarillionFan]

no, but beasting, fagging, soggy biscuit competitions and spit roasting the juniors do

That or go to a public school in Merseyside.

I say we judge the OP question by looking at the members of the congregation that boarded

I think you mean a state school in Merseyside. My father went to a state school in Merseyside, and has told many nasty tales of those times, none of which compare in the slightest to what I could tell you about a boarding school in Buckinghamshire, not least because he was able to go home every evening.

Yep, but I'm level headed in spite of, and not because of.
I think Sasguru boarded too.

I note that the thread is no annotated with 'soggy biscuits'. An urban myth if ever there was one.

Mrs BP went to boarding school. Absolutely hated it. No issues with the other girls - she is very strong and aggressive and spent most her time bullying. But she missed her parents.

But I do love her tales of sex with the other girls. Shame that at 16 she discovered boys and gave girls up for good.

She still holds the title of the worst dorm prefect ever. She just let the kids run riot and do what they pleased.
