Someone said to me today that people who send their children to Boarding Schools don't deserve to be parents, and shouldn't have children.
I was just wondering what people's opinions were on this statement?
OH and I are planning on sending LO to boarding school when she's older. However, she will be given a choice in the matter. Being military, we move every 2 years and it's something I did as a child and I hated it. I resented not being able to make 'proper' friends and having my schooling and my life disrupted all the time.
So obviously, the above statement is quite hurtful to me. So I was wondering what other people think? Is boarding school effectively 'dumping' your children as this person said?
