This morning is the weekend section of the Daily Mail, there is an article about the upcoming BBC 2 documentary. It makes quite interesting reading.
My response to the article would be to say that Nick Duffell's comments, while valid in their own way, present one side of boarding. What the article fails to mention is that for every one child that does not respond well to boarding there are hundreds for whom it is a fantastic experience.
I would also say that you would find pupils that have not enjoyed their school experience in every sector of education, be it boarding or day, independent or state.
