Boarding school:
Public schools qualify for being the best boarding schools, for, it is from here that most of our leaders and intelligentsia have come out. A day school, on the other hand, cannot inculcate the attributes of a natural leader. Leadership qualities of loyality, decision making etc. for want sufficient time.
While traditional joint and large families ensured that a child had an opportunity of mixing freely with other children at home and learning to have mutual tolerance and adjustment, the modern small and nuclear families do not leave any such scope for a child. This need of a child can be better taken care of and fulfilled in a boarding school.
While day schools are situated in comparatively small area because of their limited purpose of imparting education, boarding schools are established in sprawling areas because of their wider role of providing both education and accommodation to students. Moreover, they also provide facilities for sports, outdoor lives and extracurricular activities. By using both work and leisure constructively they ensure all round development of the child.
Day school:
Mutual tolerance and cooperation can be best practiced everyday in day schools. Moreover, a sensitive or introvert child who likes to be left on his own can have mental repose and emotional support at home before and after his school time.
Parents of day school children can keep watch on their children so that they do both academically well and socially do not fall in bad company. This check by parents is not possible in distant boarding schools.
In boarding schools there is so much institutional feeding that they far outweigh whatever advantages one might have of the outdoor life. It has been seen than day school children gain more in weight than boarding school children of the same background.
Boarding schools stifle child individuality. Tied to the same influence of the school and its atmosphere day in, day out, a boarder loses initiative and falls a prey to the dull uniformity. Continued submission to regimentation in boarding schools robs him of self reliance and independence of judgment.
A day school child is comparatively free to explore the world outside along with his parents and relatives. It provides him mental and emotional advantage. Moreover, the number of boarding schools as co-educational being few, the children in them does not get the opportunity for mixing with the opposite sex – so essential for balanced growth of a child.
