But it comes with the lots of stress for parents. Ask the parents when they're thinking about their kids and they'll say "always". Ask them what all they're worried about, and they'll give you a long list.
· Food: Food is one thing that worries the Indian moms the most! No matter what time you make a phone call to your mom, she'll always ask you if you've eaten your breakfast, lunch and dinner properly! Indian parents always think their kids are not getting enough food in boarding schools.
· Laundry: Although boarding schools have a proper laundry system which visits twice or thrice a week, parents still worry if their students look presentable enough in their classes. During day schools, parents used to ensure their uniforms were perfectly cleaned and ironed. The cluelessness here in boarding schools haunt them day and night.
· Safety: Parents always worry about the safety and security of their kids. A day boarding school in ncr is considered as an unsafe location and the parents always go on and on about when their kids come back to their rooms or whether they're roaming around after 7pm!
· Roommate: The parents make a complete check on what kind of roommate their kid has! They even go as far as asking about the roommate's parents and relatives to ensure that he has a nice background! After all, a bad company is the last thing the parents would want for their kids.
But boarding schools are self-development tools and small fears can be overlooked for a long term benefit.
