i think boarding school would be a very good place to be because i think you wouldnt have as much pressure from parents because they arent with you everyday. i think it would help people to become more responsible and have better time managment skills because their parents wouldnt be able to tell them to do their homework etc.

i wouldn't like being in boarding school at all because i think you wouldn't be able to be as close to your parents as you could be or if you hav sisters or brothers you would hardly see them! and i don't think i would like it because you wouldn't be able to go home to your home everynight and just have a rest from everything...

I wouldnt mind going to a boarding school myslef, but i would never go to a single sex boarding sc hool. That would be so boaring! I like hanging out with the guys in the class, its good to mix genders but i do believe that students might get more work done at single sex schools.

Yes and no. NO. Children will get bullied mostly threw out their liftime if by sending ur child to a boarding school u enable them to come and ask u for help. You would get worried about whats happening to ur child and also the child would worry about whats happeneing to you. But then ther is the YES side. YES. Children would benefiet from being alone for once. you see children would take more responsability for there belonings and life. they would also learn how it feels when going to uni. for if u live at the college u live by urself so that would be an ealy start.

there isnt a definite answer to that question because it is something that only be determined by your personality. l hess has a good point about co-ed/single sex education though.

personally i would like going to boarding school because of all the opportunities that are available outside of mildura.

There are many benifits. Your chances double if not triple, and your education would be at a new level. The issue is:
Being away from family.
Not having the opposite gender at the school. I find this a problem because I believe that girls by themselves at times get catty, and the guys can break that up!
Also, It is extremely hard to have leave your family and friends!!! Especially when you are friends with everyone at your old schooL!!!
