Re: Boarding Schools.
No, of course I’m generalising (one of my good friend’s boarded but he’s always kept it real) but most of them are. It’s hard to stay grounded when you’re parents are shelling out a lot of money for your education (regardless of boarding) but the added problem you have with boarding is that you have less control over the upbrinigng of your children and how they are influenced. I find boarded kids have even* less* knowledge of the world outside their bubble and think too highly of themselves… kind of like our prime minister!
And if you watched the adaptation of Great Expectations… think Pip when he was surrounded by those with money!
HAW! Don’t birng poor nittle Pip Pip Pippity Pip into this! He was to become a man of great expectations, Jaggers didn’t guide him, he had to do what he had to do ok!
He did good in the end though and went back to wonderful Joe.
