The sent-away kids

Article Abstract:

Parents who are very busy and have no time to raise their kids are sending them to boarding schools, as the experience would better equip them to cope with an increasingly competitive society. Academics feel that early boarding school would undermine family ties and impair emotional development, as these children would not be able to relate to their own children.
