Nursery boarding schools should not be permitted!

What you need to know:

In Tanzania, the boarding schools that take young kids are costly. Meaning it’s well-to-do parents who take them there; little do they know the negative impacts on their child’s well-being in the later years.

Why is it wrong? Talk to people who went early to boarding. They mostly have trauma! If you take a kid to boarding school, the child loses their home and connection. They are made to part from their parents for a long time, and forced to live with strangers. They experience loss kind of life! For children to continue feeling safe, acceptance and affirmation are necessary. Unfortunately, acceptance in a boarding school is based on daily performance in the classroom, and so is validation. Some parents will talk of discipline, good habits, independence, learning environment, self-reliance, etc as benefits of boarding schools. Because of work, some will say taking them to boarding school is the only viable root. But the benefits of parental presence in the formative years cannot be compared to anything and compensated.

Nursery boarding schools should not be permitted!
