I actually tend to think boarding schools are a good idea after a child has spent some of his or her formative years at home. I hated boarding school when I attended but I must say that I look back and I'm grateful for the decision my mother made to have me attend. Really sad.

May be we should bring them back, going westwards isn't working.
