I didn't send my kids to boarding school. It made sense for my parents since they were living in Lebanon but I don't see the point of having kids if you're just going to send them off to prison. I felt trapped with 50 people I hated for five years and I want my kids to have a home life. People who send their kids to boarding school have too much money and have given up on being parents. The minute you send your kids to boarding school, it's the end of your relationship with them - it's like them leaving home. That's going to happen at 18, I don't want it to happen at seven.
