Boarding Schools Are Outdated
They are a relic of the past and should be destroyed to be honest. They just promote social superiority and unhealthy competition. Views?

They were from back when people still cared about their education.

They are. How can you post this and then say that all youth should be made to join a cadet organisation. Contradiction alert! But they are, and often deprive students of the proper social skills and boundaries to function properly. Lazy on behalf of the parents too.

I don't think they are outdated.
I go to a boarding school and have been for the past 4 years. I felt is has built my confidence and individuality. Unhealthy competition? Of what? I think there is the same level of competition as in any other (boarding) school.
However, I grant that staying in a boarding school too long means that some students are wrapped up in a bubble and will find it hard out in the 'real world'.
