I can't think of a single good reason why I would do that. It's bad enough when they leave home for college. Why one would want to accelerate the timeframe to experience that huge wrench to the heart I have no idea! Happy Saturday! :)
-
Easy to answer, it's a no! I get so much enjoyment out of seeing my kids every day I couldn't imagine not seeing them!
-
I threathened him...instead he showed dad he graduated and joined the Army!
-
Yes!!!.....and I'm threatening them with it as we speak!!!! It's that or the moon! ARRRRRRRGH! Thanks for the suggestion! :-)
-
Strictly No!
-
No...but shh, cuz I threaten her often with an all girl school!
-
No. I don't have a kid, but if ever I had one, I would not want him or her to be separated from me.
-
Yes, if that is necessary.
-
No, I think the best place to learn is with the parents. There is a great deal more to education than just scholarly things. It takes a parent's example and values, an understanding of important principles of life to make a well rounded education.
-
Yes.
-
Lord no, I couldnt do that to the poor school.
-
If I felt it was the only option I had left. It would be close to a miracle for me to do that though.
-
Na - I'd miss them too much.
-
No. It costs too much and they have the opportunity to learn the wrong values.
-
no, best to be with parents, but if parents suck, its a good option i guess. it seems a bit obnoxious and lazy though, put money at problem rather than deal with kid yourself.

I don't have children, but having been to a boarding school myself, I don't think I would unless circumstances dictated otherwise (e.g. if my job took me all over the world, then a boarding school can be a stable place for a child). The problem to me is you don't see your kids grow up - you send them away and a few years later, they return a different person, but you've no idea how they became who they are. On the plus side, it can be a better standard of education (largely because of better teacher:pupil ratios and smaller classes), but assuming that you have kids because you want them, why would you want to send them away for about ten years and miss so much of their development?
-
To keep them out of the state school system - bloody hell, yes.
-
id miss them too much ! :(
-
Yes, if it was a school that he or she wanted to attend for academic or specific extra-curricular reasons (such as performing arts), and I was totally comfortable with the school, staff, and arrangements. But only if the child and I both agreed that this was a good move. And, not before he or she was about 15 years old.
-
No, I want to be share their life with them. I want to be there when they have a good or bad day. I'd miss them like crazy.
-
Nope, its important to spend time with your children and be part of their life. You only get that experience once.
-
no
-
Not before the age of 18+ in any case
-
I would never do it no, i think children need the support of their family, not other children ...i think for some it might be good to make them stronger, but some children would just not benefit from it. let them leave the nest when they are good or ready
-
Oh Yes! In a heart beat. He is 17 and there seems to be nothing that can change his bad ways. Do you think the Army, Air Force or Marines would take him?
-
There were times I wanted to send them to the moon...does that count!!! Merry X-mas!!!
-
no
-
I was sent to a hoity toity school when I was just 14. It was a big mistake and further evidence to me that I was not wanted.
-
It really depends, but I'd be inclined not to. Despite the trouble and the drama, I want her to be around. (We're divorced right now, but I'm saying IF)
-
I wouldn't because I believe the Gov. and our educational system has some giant flaws..I would not want my child raised basically by the Gov. and brainwashed on their ideals. I think I will take the old fashion approach and home school. I will teach them the real constitution, and bring them up with morals, with the Bible taught along the way. I see how brainwashed everyone is in this country now..my child will be prepared.
-
Never I'd miss them too much.
-
NO WAY! I would go crazy from missing him to much.
