Boarding Or Day: The Role of the Student cannot be Overemphasized.

In recent days,  a video of a 10yr old girl sleeping with a 13yr old boy surfaced on the internet and in the light of that, several persons began dropping takes and opinions regarding what they feel is the right way of parenting. 

  So while going through the timeline yesterday, I saw this post.

Firstly, let's start by describing the terminologies there.
What's a Boarding School?
A boarding school is an institution of learning where students live within the school premises, while receiving formal instructions from their teachers and administrative bodies. 
A school, by definition, is an institution that consists of a gathering of students for the sole purpose of learning, both academically and otherwise. These students come with distinct personalities and characters. These characters are peculiar to each individual. In school, students with different characteristics tend to come together regardless of their attributes. There's no such thing as an ideal society, so amongst the students, the good ones must exist, and the bad ones ought to exist as well. 
    In a boarding school, students are kept faraway from their parents; the only time when they get to see them is when the school ain't in session. The majority of the morals they learn as a growing teenager or a young adult are from the school staff or the students within it. 

I attended a boarding school. The structure is not any different from that of day schools in that you get to interact with friends while in school, you get to obey instructions from teachers and partake in a host of other school activities. The only difference lies in the fact that as a boarding student, you would be going back to the school hostel at the end of the day, as opposed to day students that would be going back home to see their parents. 



WHAT'S THE IMPACT OF THESE SCHOOL SYSTEMS ON THE STUDENTS?

 It's believed that students who attend day schools are accorded the opportunity of going back home to learn morals from their parents. It is true, I wouldn't dispute that.
I have been in close contact with persons who attended day schools and I've come to discover that the character a person exhibits is dependent on the choices they make. I am not trying to downplay the importance of the good morals they have been taught at home. I have seen day students that have good moral principles and I have also seen day students that are worse off. While at home, a child may act like they truly understand and appreciate the good morals being taught to them by their parents. Whereas in school, when they are outside the watch of their parents, they tend to do what they feel is right. They are the ones to take that decision.

   Teenagers between the ages of 10-18 tend to feel this youthful exuberance to explore the things of the world. They tend to do so with the slightest opportunity they get, so it is best that they are put under strict supervision, whether in school or at home. That's why the staffs of the Chrisland School were put to blame because it was their duty to put those students under strict supervision and make sure that the male students don't cross carpet to the female room and vice versa. 

In conclusion, moral principles are not peculiarly taught by parents, they can also be taught by the school. I attended a boarding school and it's safe to say that the morals I learnt from there are still in me till date. Most day school students also exhibit the good morals imbibed in them by their parents. So regardless of the institution you attend, once the teachers and parents play their parts and the students are ready to learn, I believe that morals will be effectively dissipated.

I can't take my children to the boarding school. I prefer to take proper care of them myself.
That is the reason why I have decided to finish my education before getting married so that there would be no distractions between my home and me.

See, parents has lot of role to play in this, I tell you. You can imagine a 10 year old girl already dressing seductively without parent caution, what do you expect her to become on the the long run?

I love this article Chief, attending boarding school doesn't necessarily mean that they will become all spoilt and bad. Parents and teachers should just ensure they play out their role in children's upbringing well enough.

That's the point Dear Ella. Once the teacher and Parents play their role, it's now left for the children to decide whether to follow them or not and mind you that their peers are a great determinant. It could happen to a day or boarding student.

Kids would want to explore and check out new things, that's why parents are expected to check on their kids, I attended a day boarding school 😂😂 and just like you said attending boarding school doesn't mean the child will turn out bad.

Yes Dear Balikis, I attended a boarding school and I can say that the ability to do good lies in the hands of the children, although they are bound to be guided by their parents. So attending a boarding school doesn't necessarily mean that the child will turn out to be bad.
