Would love input.
Oldest DD 10 cant wait to go for the idea of living an Enid Blyton book dormitory existance.
She's academically very bright and mature so I dont worry she couldnt handle it but Im now doubting if its the right thing to do.
Current school ( in Hong Kong) very good academically pushy so it suits her. Shes happy there. Results very good so as a parent Im not worried it doesnt cut the mustard - expect she will more than likely end up at a UK Uni if she stays.
Im just feeling the UK is a grim place at the moment. Here we dont have the drink or drugs problem and personal safety is never a worry. Its a very respectful existance.
Would it be better for her to break out of the bubble we currently live in and start to experience western culture , she has only ever lived in Asia but we do get to the UK a couple of times per year. Would Boarding school just be another bubble in a colder climate OR should she just continue to grow up in a very "safe" environment and wait until she is old enough for Uni.
Thoughts anyone???
