It is not uncommon for children at boarding school to call their parents and ask to come home in the first few weeks. But the German 14-year-old sent to a quiet school in the English countryside had a specific complaint.

He was there to experience the famed British boarding school education, which — despite a tarnished reputation in recent years — is still seen around the world as a defining feature of British culture.

Instead, the boy told his parents, he couldn’t make friends because he couldn’t understand what his roommates were saying. Not because his English wasn’t good enough. But because they were all speaking Mandarin. His parents withdrew him after one term...

其實佢父母有責任去了解每間boarding school 有幾多海外生,有幾多full boarding , 例如間學校寫有三成boarders 而又有三成overseas students, 咁好明顯寄宿生全部係海外生啦,roommate 係內地人唔鐘意咪去common room 同其他人吹水囉,D西班牙人聚埋咪又係講西班牙文,德國人聚埋都唔會講英文,無必要針對中國人。
太以偏概全。

我小朋友嗰間學校,個個國內同學講英文都係流利,可能已不是剛入學

不過係宿舍都講普通話,我小朋友都進步左好多   一舉兩得

回覆樓主:

其實而家是否唔多本土英國學生會寄宿,因發覺好多 boarding schools 的宿生都好大比例係海外生。Boarding school 每年學費£37000 至 £45000 不等,英國家庭孩子多,稅收高 (~40%),除稅後可送兩至三個孩子去 boarding school 都應該是非富則貴!一般小康家庭的孩子都衹會做 day pupil,唔會寄宿,所以要有傳統英國寄宿經驗而又要學校成績好都唔易!

Local寄宿數量係有減少。錢係一個原因,唔捨得又係原因,自己喺寄宿學校有唔如意嘅經歷又有,不過又未至於全部淪陷。
