I know it’s none my damned business, but this is a discussion forum... so here goes... I always think it’s weird when people (like Justice and Mrs Roberts) adopts a kid... and then enroll them in boarding school. It’s like, okay, 14 years was enough of this parenting kid, let’s outsource this thing. I mean, I get it that sometimes a rich, high-powered person lives in an area where the local school options aren’t up to their standards. But, come on, the Roberts live in the D.C. area. There’s certainly no shortage of posh day schools in that area.
With tuition at $63,000 a year—that’s a quarter of a million dollars for a high school education!
Like you, I don’t understand why parents send their kids away, especially in Britain when they’re just little kids. God only knows what goes on there. It could be a status thing or maybe he’s a handful at home. Odd.
So what they adopted kids. They aRe the parents. They decide how to best educate their kids. Just like home schoolers decide. The son went to a boarding school in middle school and Roberts talked about the parents tears when they left him and drove away.Then moved to High school like his friends.
Westminster has an excellent reputation. The kid probably needed to mature and buckle down to one day succede in an ivy league education.
