boarding school 

A frequently-stereotyped educational institution that often features a more diverse population than most people believe. Contrary to popular belief, not all boarding school students are snotty, preppy airheads and jocks. Not all are sent there as preparation for becoming trophy wives or CEOs. Boarding schools are not as weird and sheltered as they are portrayed to be (especially not for day students) and they do have significant value other than "getting the kids out of the way".

Many parents send children to boarding schools for high school because they feel this will better prepare them for college life. Others live in areas with poor public schooling systems and elect to send their children elsewhere, so they can have a better education. It may come as a shock to some that many boarding school students come from extremely rural areas or from so-called "bad neighborhoods" and are there on scholarship.

Living at a boarding school often puts kids in contact with people they would never meet otherwise, as students often come from all over the world. Interacting with people from different places and backgrounds generally broadens the students' minds and horizons. Dorm life requires that they learn to live with other people and to effectively resolve problems with roommates and neighbors.

It is recommended that one actually visit or attend a boarding school (as with a public or other private school) before passing judgement.

Boarding schools in general are not the elitist "rich kids' schools" they are made out to be.

Agapé Boarding School 

A cult boarding school in Stockton, Missouri that uses vulnerable boys for profit. Known for Jurassic Elbows, Brown Town, The Padded Palace, and The Holy King James Version; Agapé is a safe haven for child predators and abusers. Don’t be fooled, this place is nothing like prison - boys at Agapé could never achieve basic human rights. If your boy likes the school enough, he can even join the staff and intermarry with the great country folks of Agape!

Q: Have you ever thought about sending Billy to Agapé Boarding School?
A: No Way! I don’t want him to have the lifelong trauma that comes with living around those hicks.

Therapeutic Boarding School 

Aka Therapy School aka reform school. Some real bullshit. A place you're sent away to. You'll only want to do more shit once you get out. Locking a kid up in a cage will break them while they're in it, and then when they're released it's party time.
Some good can come, but not without some bad.

"Montana Academy, a therapeutic boarding school helped me.....and also helped me realize I wanted to drink and smoke pot."

"Oh, therapeutic boarding school...I was once sent away to therapy school, and my youth disintegrated before my eyes."

boarding school rations 

Tiny helpings of food, or revolting quality food. Self-explanatory.

The plaice was three inches long and had a maggot in it. Why are we reduced to these boarding school rations?

boarding school 

boarding school is a place where parents ship off their own kids. don't get me wrong going away prepares kids for college more than any other place. you have life changing experiences but many times the kids 80% of the time feel completely abandoned. most of the time its just a bunch of flithy rich kids,once in a while you will find a kid on financial aid that slips through the cracks, and ends up feeling like an outcast because they can't keep up with the rich kids. many kids are secretly suicidal because of the pressure to get into a good college, get good grades. and really smart people are outshined by even smarter ones. drugs and alcohal are used alot the schools have no idea. many students from prep school go to colleges like columbia and Harvard. if your going to go to boarding school go to one in Connecticut.. i mean it is the richest state in the nation. duh

Boarding School Lesbian 

A girl who may not actually be homosexual in the conventional sense but engages in lesbian activity in her boarding school due to no available males.

I was pissed about being away from boys but maybe I could still get my sugar from some Boarding School Lesbian.
