BOARDING SCHOOLS, FOR OR AGAINST?

I´d like to talk about boarding schools.

A boarding school is a kind of private school with the difference that you live there, it´s a mixture between a house and a school. Nowadays, everyone think that a boarding school is for impolite and bad students because there, teachers are more strict. However, just a few years ago, a boarding school was for all kinds of students, bad or good. There were even more good students than bad students.

The aim of a boarding school is to educate and they also want studens to get better marks.

The nightmare of a lot of teenagers is to be sent to a boarding school because they think that they won´t see their friends and family for a lot of time. Students only see the disadvantages, for example in a boarding school students can´t see their family. They not only can´t go out with their friends but also they haven´t got much freedom.

The truth is that there are shortcomings but there are also advantages like the students really improve their grades, they learn to be independient and they learn how to organize themselves and their work as well.

Most students think that a boarding school is horrible and just for bad students but it´s just a stereotype. The reality is that a boarding school is a school a bit harder than a normal school but it´s a really nice place to learn too.

However, it is just my personal point of view; for example, a lot of members of my family have gone to a boarding school and they weren´t bad students at all.

Taking all this into account, I must admit that boarding schools are as good as normal schools.
