    “Not going home for 5 weeks”. Think yourself lucky! When I was in boarding school a friend of mines whose parents worked overseas couldn’t get him to be with them but only fit the summer! All the half-terms he spent with the headmasters family and the other two holidays he spent with Grandparents. This went on for about 3-4 years before their contract run out.

    Reminds me of my UK boarding school days as an international student. I went for sixth form 8 years ago, and they were literally the best two years of my life so far. Our rules weren't nearly as strict as yours, we could wear make up and earrings, and alcohol was frowned upon but not reeeally a punishable offence unless you're visibly inebriated... or threw up in your houseparent's kitchen sink... We had great food, our campus and boarding houses were beautiful, I did only go home twice a year and that was a bit hard, but I was glad I did it. The only complaint I have is that we had a department head who displayed favouritism, usually to pretty blonde girls, and does this subtly racist thing of speaking deliberately slowly to kids whose first language wasn't English (like myself).
    Thanks for the video, brought back really lovely memories. Enjoy your school life! :)

      @Cecelia C IMO boarding schools are shit I went from year 10 to year 12 and it seriously annoyed and scared the shit out of me and IMO kids while they are students in school should be living at home with either their parents or guardians not be sent to boarding school the food in my boarding school was fckg horrible and it was like been locked up prison and the students basically have no life of their own

    I have a a couple of questions...
    1) What happens if you mess around in lessons/don't do the work/distract others?
    2)You said that girls aren't allowed in the boys dorms (and vise versa) which is understandable, but what if somebody is a lesbian, gay or just generally part of the lgbtq+ community? What if you don't identify as male or female? What house would they be put in?
    3) This isn't a question but I think a good video idea would be 'tips for people starting boarding school' (if you haven't done it already!)
    Much love and stay safe❤

      Hi there, I go to boarding school so here are some answers (a year later lol)
      1) You can get detentions and house gated (not allowed to leave the boarding house) very similar to a day school
      2) If someone is part of the LGBTQ community they get the choice of whether they want to share a dorm (sometimes they decide they want to have their own dorm) if they do not identify as either male or female it would be up to them to decide to go into the girls or boys house.
      hope that helped x

The macaroni cheese was inedible. We used to try and getaway with eating just one piece! Please let me know if it has changed?

    • @SuperLittleTyke
      @SuperLittleTyke Před 2 lety

      I don't know why school food is so often disgusting. It's as if the management just doesn't care. Before I went into hospital for major surgery eight years ago, people said, ooh be prepared for some awful food. But actually the food was very good throughout the nine days I was in. Before you could really enjoy a full meal, since after the surgery you don't have much of an appetite, you could order a sandwich and the hospital made these egg mayonnaise sandwiches fresh that were simply the best. Later, we had roast dinners with all the trimmings, plus a choice of desserts. This was a normal NHS hospital in Nottinghamshire. But it's all down to the management, whether schools, hospitals, or the military. Did nobody put in an official complaint about the food at your school?

      @@marcuswardle3180 Yes, anyone in authority doesn't like their authority being challenged. It's as if they feel under threat. I didn't go to boarding schools, but the food at all the state schools and later college I attended was good. Not brilliant, and I hated the custard that was always too thick, but generally it was okay. All my schooling happened in Kent, so maybe that county put school meals at the top of its agenda. The problem at boarding schools is that everybody only has the one choice.
