Some people feel that boarding schools ( where students or pupils live at the school during the term) are an an excellent option for children, while other people disagree for a number of reasons. Consider both sides of this debate and reach a conclusion.

Boarding schools, where students have to stay all the

time

during a particular term, have become increasingly popular these days,

although

some people do not support the idea of staying

schools.

This

essay will discuss both aspects of

this

debatable issue and explain why it appears that

this

type of schools are not a good option for pupils. On the one hand, the people who are in favour of sending students to boarding schools cite the advantages that

such

type of schools provide to its students.

First

of all, in these schools, students are always under the supervision of a teacher, which ensures a well- disciplined lifestyle.

In addition

, pupils can get academic assistance from their teachers anytime they need, which is quite impossible in other schools.

Finally

, as children get to live in a playful environment with their friends, they can enjoy their free

time

in productive ways

such

as playing outdoor games, singing etc. They learn to work in a team from a very tender age, which enables them to be co-operative in their workplace.

By contrast

, there is another group of individuals who oppose the idea of boarding schools due to the several drawbacks of

such

schools. The most important reason behind it remains in the short period of

time

students of boarding schools get to spend with their family. Spending quality

time

with family is very important for students, as it has an enormous impact on their behaviour, personality and attitude.

For instance

, very often the students who come from a boarding school are found to be antisocial and introverted in nature during their university life. Another striking reason is, in schools these days, students have to face harassment and bullying from the seniors, which is far more serious in boarding schools. In Japan,

for example

, a significant number of students from boarding schools committed suicide due to bullying in 2010. In conclusion, it is logical to infer that, students should stay with their family and go to regular schools rather

than to boarding

than boarding

schools. It appears that the drawbacks of sending students to boarding schools far outweighs the minor advantages that it provides.
