Here is your answer
I am not in favor of sending a school kid to boarding school. At this stage, it is more important for her to have a loving home, and parents who set a good example – that is something that cannot be recreated anywhere else, and it has a huge impact on how her life turns out. In the long term, quality of schooling has a much lower impact on overall happiness, and sensible life choices than closeness to caring parents. If she’s bright, the career will take care of itself, as long as the sensible choices and happiness are there. Maybe it might take 5 years longer, because she is not in a big city and top school. In such matters, for success: “Der hai, andher nahiN.”
I would suggest the following:
Get a good fast broadband internet connectionIntroduce her to sites like Khan AcademyEncourage her to learn on her ownAllow her to spend lots of time on the internet, if she gets interested in educational sites like Khan Academy, or even Wikipedia browsing.Watching educational videos or self-help videos, or do-it-yourself videos on YouTube is also recommended.Get her a KindleEncourage her to read. Anything that she’s interested in reading, even trashy novels are fine.Spend money on buying good books on the Kindle (or even bad books, if she’s reading)
Consider shifting her to a big city, good school either after 10th if she’s a mature and sensible kid, otherwise, after 12th.
For a second opinion on this question, I asked my friend Bhooshan Shukla, who’s a child psychiatrist, whether he agreed or disagreed with me, and here’s his response:
