Dad wants 14-year-old to attend boarding school; mom isn’t ready
Father, a former boarding-school student, urges their 14-year-old to enroll, citing independence and confidence; the mother isn’t ready and says he’s romanticizing his past.
Dear Annie: My husband and I are in a painful disagreement about our children’s education. He went to boarding school as a teenager and says it was one of the best things that ever happened to him. He talks about the independence, friendships, the sports, the teachers and the confidence it gave him.
