Why boarding's such a riot Mike Jackson (Filed: 02/12/2004) Boarding school pupils get into all sorts of trouble, from binge drinking to pornography, says Mike Jackson Parents pay fortunes for the privileges of a top public school education, yet the antics that can go on in them can be just as outrageous as anything at the local comprehensive. All the more so when large numbers of teenagers are gathered together in hotel-style boarding houses and left to their own devices. Indeed, today's boarding schools are now so full of happy, high-spirited children and fantastic facilities that all sorts of high...

Sent by his American parents to a posh Swiss boarding school in the foothills of the Alps, an 11-year-old John F. Kerry did what most any other kid would do - he learned to curse in Italian. ``Spaccare la faccia, porco,'' Cam Kerry remembered his older brother saying, a phrase which, loosely translated, means ``Shove it in your face, pig.'' But John Kerry wasn't any normal kid. Just a few years later, tucked in another high-brow boarding school - this one the exclusive St. Paul's in Concord, N.H., a teenage Kerry helped form a debating club and won a prize...

NO NURSERY FOR ENGLISH-SPEAKING BABY Jun 29 2004 By Richard Smith A BOY of three had a full-time nursery place taken away partly because he speaks English and has a garden, says his mum.

Mum Nicki, 39, said yesterday: "I was told he did not fit the criteria as he had English as his first language and that he came from a home with a garden." Nicki, an occupational therapist, has lived in the catchment area for...

Zug's tugged heartstrings The people in the hamlet of Zug, around 25km south of Zurich, are getting interested in American politics, now that Senator John Kerry is leading the pack of democratic hopefuls for president. Mr Kerry spent two years studying at the Institut Montana Zugerberg, a local boarding school, when his father was a diplomat in Berlin in 1954. During his time at the school, Mr Kerry rubbed elbows with the offspring of kings (Spanish, anyway) and other blue-bloods, such as Habsburg-Lothringens, Bourbons, Rothschilds and Bacardis. Whether this youthful hobnobbing will help him win the hearts and minds of...
