Most societies decline to take boarding schools as the preferred option for the upbringing of their children, except in British societies or in its former colonies; in England, India, and former African colonies of Great Britain, for example, boarding schools are one of the preferred modes of education.
Children are sent away to school to develop wider horizons than their family can provide: a boarding school which a family has attended for generations may define the culture to which parents aspire for their children.
However boarding schools involve some separation from one's parents and possibly culture, and so may give rise to a phenomenon known as the TCK or third culture kid, in which the pupils may fail to belong to either their parents' culture or their school's.
