boarding school or privite school?


Question Posted Sunday March 2 2008, 12:44 pm

i just transfer from privite school back to public, but all my grades went from Bs to C's. now my mom is telling me if i dont pull them up i have to go back to privite school. but ive been recently reading The it girl novel, about a girl going to boarding school. & now ive been thinking if id rather go to boarding school. oh by the way, im in high school 9th grade. but does anyone know any good/fun boarding schools? (doesnt matter where they are located.) and does anyone know if boarding school would be good for me? im a average student, if i dont study for a test i fail.

i think you should get a tutor to help you or a teacher that can spend extra time with you or even a parent to help you.. and you'll be just fine. but yeah, boarding schools are cool. maybe you should go there. But not private, cause you need to be able to learn to socialize with more than just girls.

All boarding schools are fun. I board and i'm having a great time (Worth School)!! But i do have to point out the cost, private boarding schools cost a hell of a lot of money (£21,000 (give or take £1,000) per annum and £7,000 (give or take £1,000)each term).

Boarding is an option which most people like to take because it allows them to know their peirs better and learn how to literally live in a community and that is good because it gives you a sense of control over your own life and not having to depend upon your parents so much.
When i first started, i found it tough because i used to be a day student and always went home in the evening. But suddenly, i'm not coming home as much as i used to and that was tough. But i got over it and adjusted to my constantly changing environment. You get to know others whilst they get to know you (but in my case, they think they know me).

Books can give insight to what life is like in a boarding school and some can be accurate whilst others aren't. It just depends upon how relevant the book is upon the subject of Boarding schools.

I hope this helped,

Well, it all depends upon the school. At Worth, they've got socials with other girl schools (such as Mayfield etc.) and they're really fun to go to. In the sixth form, they've got invites and you've got to dress up nicely and all of that.
At different schools, they or may not hold socials but ask and see what they say.

I hope this helped,

I just want to point out that the way that things are played out in books are not necessarily how it is in real life.

What about the price? I'm sure that the people in the It girl books probably have daddy to pay for their tuition.
