Answers
Explanation:
If they are separated from them for long periods of time this may damage their relationship and leave the child feeling anxious or alone. Schools are unlikely to be able to replicate the detailed knowledge of each individual child that a parent has and therefore cannot be as effective in supporting the child.
Answer:
A powerful committee of MPs is to investigate the 'possible dangers' of children going to boarding school amid fears that they could be psychologically damaged. The select committee for children, schools and families will look at the social and emotional impact of separating youngsters from their parents.
'There is quite a body of knowledge out there that suggests taking a child away at the age of eight or 11 to a boarding school is psychologically not the wisest thing to do for their development,' said Barry Sheerman, the committee's Labour chairman.
'Lots of people argue, and there is plenty of psychological evidence, that the best place for a child to grow up is with a supportive family - whether it is one parent or two - for their social and emotional development. I do not mean just the Tory concept of 2.4 children, but a family with people who nurture you.'
Sheerman said he would call eminent psychologists to appear before the committee to learn about the 'strengths, weaknesses and possible dangers of placing children in any kind of residential institution at an early age'. The MP, who represents Huddersfield, said he found comments made by Dr Bernard Trafford, headteacher of Wolverhampton grammar school and chairman of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, last week 'chilling'. On revealing that the number of children attending boarding school had risen, Trafford said: 'The value of boarding is being seen again and is socially acceptable. It offers tremendous coherent pastoral care.'
