No child of mine will attend a boarding school , won't leave my kids for someone else to raise.

BOARDING SCHOOL.... you need reasons?

Hybrid600:
Which one do you think is preferable for a child that will gain admission into secondary school, a boarding school or day school

Hybrid600:


Lol.. but some people says it teaches the kids survival instinct when in boarding school...

byvan03:



I rather enrol them into taekwando/karate classes, I just want to do the guiding every step of the way till they can reason for themselves. The survival instinct part is true, but not really worth missing out on the most important years of their lives.

Mmmm. You speak so cos you have goo day schools aroundd you. If you live in a place witth no sound school then you ontt have an option. I will choose boarding anyday. The most important tthing is to be careful while selecting the schools.

I attended boarding schools from 1-6 myself, I just don't like the idea of any one raising kids for me. I know good schools around your base that operate both boarding and day system . I can't do boarding no matter how good, I need to be there in those years that count.

NL1960:


What are the years that count?. At what age is a child old enough not to be raised by the parents?.

Hahahahahah. Pls mention them o! You think I didn't research?

Please state your opinion and let it go,mine is not yours to dissect.

favoured234:
Day school, I need to watch them closely
But if for some reasons they have to attend boarding school, I will make them attend catholic schools, I think I can trust those boarding school a little more than the others cos they have zero tolerance for misbehaviors .

Yes I was a boarding student..

NL1960:


Did you my post before this one you responded to?.

Btw, no be fight. This is a discussion for learning purpose.

Aquariann:


You'll only end up heartbroken.

And why is almost everyone before me saying "No one would raise my children for me?"

My teachers never raised me. My parents (especially my mother) did even though I attended a boarding house.

Sending your kids to boarding houses is different from abdicating your parental responsibilities.

I will answer your question, as long as my child is under 18, raising continues for me.

NL1960:


Good answer. These days, we have children entering the Higher Institution at 16 or 17. What happens in this instance?. Will you prevent the kid from entering the higher institution if he/she passes JAMB or will the child be going for lectures from home until he turns 18?.
