This is very good article. It is right that the parents who do not have job at the fix place have to relocate them self. For the children of such parents boarding schools are the good option. There are so many popular boarding schools that provide good education and facilities to the students.

SOMETHING YOU FORGOT!
Thought the boarding school supply a good education, and experience. It enables a students sense of love and loosens the bond between family. In that, the grow closer to friends on a day to day, school environment, and then only communicate with parents through internet, or cellphones for months on end. The real argument is whether colleges or universities like day-school education or boarding-school education better. After all if your child can get into Harvard, or Cambridge etc at home rather than at boarding school, then theres no need. And the same goes for the other way around. it really depends on the person, the situation, and most importantly the current education.
