You're sending your 4 year old kid to boarding school? Isn't the world brutal enough for him already?

Well , if he gets admission early in boarding school then he will up come all the boarding chaos and confusions if admitted later. And once he gets in then we, including him, had not to worry about his overall performance till he cleared 12th standard.
This may further infuse discipline,sports activities and he would be comfortable in unversity hostel life afterwards .

I don't think its good for the child to be subjected to hostel life this early from a mental and emotional point of view. People learn whole life and adjust when required. Hostel in college years or even class 11th-12th is justified, not before that.

Hmmm everyone has his own point of view. And my family also support the same.
BTW I'm not here to start a new debate on sending kids to hostel.
You may ans. my query I have asked :neutral:
 
Re: Boarding School in North India

But thats just bullshit! I offend it. Put him in a normal school, you are better off with that. or dont have him study anywhere.

PS to mods: Ban me if i offend you. I cant let a person destry a 4yo life.

Update: If you want to neglect him, why do you even have a son? you said that you wont have to worry about his performance in school! you know what? serious bullshit! im so ****ing angry! why you do this?!

Why are u so serious about this consideration. I am just planning about this and hav'nt send him yet. We have to scrutinize various facts before the final go. Or the idea may be dropped also.

I agree with [MENTION=146650]nikhilsharma007nikx[/MENTION] . How can any parent even think of sending off their kid who has barely learnt to walk and talk to live among complete strangers? I don't care if this offends anyone, but you might as well put him up for adoption.

Re: Boarding School in North India

uh If anyone has contrarian opinions, start a thread. Else, stick to answering OPs question. Don't give unasked for advice.
There is nothing wrong with boarding school. It's not like he is abandoning his kid, he is doing something good and healthy, in fact giving the best education and you guys are stopping him because of your small minded outdated paranoid primitive beliefs.

And which boarding school guarantees that a 4 year old will be an IIT/IIM grad someday? I'm not saying that boarding schools are bad, but this borders on child abuse. Anyway, I'm out of this thread.

unasked, free advice: no hostel in school life. yes hostel in college/uni life.

*emotional mode ON*
Mate, good luck. Your kid will have no love for you when you are old and probably put you in an old age home saying that you did not take care of him when he needed you the most.

For highlighted content.
your statement is sounds very cold.
"Yeah, we made a kid, now all we gotta do is pay for his expenses at the school and everything will be easy and set for the next 12+ years."

*Emotional mode OFF*

Then again, who am I to say. Its your kid and your decision.

Edit: You might wanna send him to Dehradun when he is in say 3rd or 4th grade. Before that, he needs your love and care.
One of my college buddies went to Boarding when he was in 1st grade. His parent didn't call him for weeks on end when he was in college. And he was okay with that. He used to not go back home in holidays like the rest of the kids.
But he wasn't the only kid of his parents.

You missed the term "including him" there.

It is the time to be together. You will have enough time when he will live away from you.

Re: Boarding School in North India

oh nothing will happen
there are still vacations, it is a great environment. @OP I suggest you take opinion from those who have gone to boarding school or those who send their children to such schools instead of those who have avoided it for whatever reason
