Lots of folks are hurting financially these days, so there's a lot of distraction for teenagers and not enough structure. Boarding schools will go a long way to solving that.
I also think what Obama mentioned in the SOTU address is a great idea: pre-school for all, not just those who can afford it.
Did you go to a boarding school? (I graduated from a public HS boarding school.)
Far from structure, outside of class, it is much easier for students to become distracted, since one residential advisor cannot possibly supervise a hall of 30 students and keep track of there whereabouts and how they're spending time.
I think school should take up as little time as possible, so that kids are free to do things on their own. Since boarding schools are 100% all the time, I don't like that idea at all.
Public boarding schools.
