Boarding school
A boarding school is a school where some or all pupils study and live during the school year with their fellow students and possibly teachers and or administrators. The word 'boarding' is used in the sense of "bed and board," lodging and meals. Some boarding schools also have day students who attend the institution by day and return off-campus to their families in the evenings.
Many independent (private) schools in the Commonwealth of Nations are boarding schools. Boarding school pupils "boarders" normally return home during the school holidays and, often, weekends, but in some cultures may spend the majority of their childhood and adolescent life away from their families. In the United States, boarding schools comprise various grades, most commonly grades seven or nine through grade twelve - the high school years. Some also feature military training, though this is generally offered only at specialized military schools. Some American boarding schools offer a post-graduate year of study in order to help students prepare for college entrance, most commonly to assimilate foreign students to American culture and academics before college.
Boarding school is very important to make student be more responsibility about him or herself. They force to do all things alone without helping from their parents. This is very good to exercise them to be more autonomous. Boarding school is obviously needed for student with several problems. For example student from uptown who want to get better study in the city. Sometimes, the reason for students don’t want to school outside their town because they don’t have place to live. Parents will never agree if their children live in the rent house because no one can control them. The student will have freedom to do what they want including the negative one.
Boarding school offers many benefits. Family problem of course can influence students’ concentration. NAESP show the result of their survey that about 60% students who come from broken family cant focus on their study, as a result they got lower scores than usual. So the government should build more boarding school to help students’ concentrating with their study. Beside boarding school asks students to be more discipline. They must really obedient about the boarding school’s rule.
Recognizing the boarding school have many benefits than public school because in boarding school, students can to be more autonomous. So can make their mental more be strong. So don’t be worried to enter your children in boarding school.

The government should NOT built more boarding school
Boarding schools, also called residential schools, are the educational institutions, wherein children live with their fellow students and teachers. The residents are provided food and lodging facility by such institutions. While many parents think that their children ought to be nurtured in the 'shielded environment' at home, others insist on sending their little ones to the boarding schools. A boarding school is believed to help instill the sense of responsibility and discipline in kids. However, living in the 'home away from home' may encourage them to indulge in unwanted activities and might weaken their ties with the family as well.
First, Children get detached from their family with time, once they are sent to a boarding school. As a result, they might not want to part with their friends in the school and go back to home, if given a chance. They may find themselves drifted away from their family, even after graduating and coming back home.
Then, Parents often fail to impart family values to the children, when the little ones are nurtured away from the secure environment of home.
Since they are not monitored by their parents, children may easily get indulged in harmful addictions, like smoking and drinking, when they are in a boarding school.
The kids in the boarding school tend to misuse the freedom, which they do not acquire much while living with parents.
Unpleasant experiences of ragging and bullying are often reported in boarding schools. The acts may shatter the self-confidence of a child and may have adverse effects on his/her overall development.
So based of the effects of the boarding school on children, goverment should not built more boarding school, so that children have a lot of time with their parents, and got a lot of supervision andattention from their parents.
