Boarding school at that age... Orphanage home men... methinks.

Before you react to issues of this nature or make up your mind on whether to let them go to boarding or not. You need to sincerely review. We all love our child and we will do anything for them. Our parents who put some of us in the Boarding school also love us. But really, Lets ask and sincerely answer: 1. How many hours do we really get to spend with this Kids/Children in this stressed economy 2. Are we able to give them all we will have loved to give them particularly time 3. Are the children developing with us taking all the Morales they need from us or from our House maid or Nanny or our neighbor or our AREA?
I love my child so much and I have to take them to a boarding school for their Primary education. Where I know they will be able to learn what I want them learn, where I know there handlers give them what I will want and they did not fall short in their education. The only drift we have to do as a family is to always get our leave planned so that when they are on holidays we are there with them. We are also able to realize a lot of things about them. Ordinarily things I will consider them too young to do if they are at home with us they are now able to do it conveniently and also able to decide on their own. I think you can let them go but ensure you are close to such school and also able to check properly on the school before you allow them go.

Hey, I was in children home school ibadan as well. My older siblings were in new city, boarders of course. It wasn't a bad experience it made me tough and string...not as bad as u made it seem. I'll definitely send my kids to such schools if they still exist which I doubt.

Absolutely not! SECONDARY SCHOOL! MY CHOICE!

@ topic: Makes no sense! Kids need to be with their parents at that age no matter how busy the parents are. Even if they only get to see your face during weekends, keep them at home! There're lot of things that are passed from parents to kids in a home setting which is different from the official atmosphere that plays out in the boarding house/school environment.

Even @ secondary level, caution should be applied! Some kids aren't just cut out for boarding, else the parent will regret.
