If quality boarding schools were free in America for some reason, do you think they'd be popular places folks would send their kids?

I've always been fascinated by how boarding scools are depicted in British fiction. Also had a terrible home life as a kid and would have given up a lot to have the right to be elsewhere 98 percent of the time.

In this day-and-age where so many parents--even the good ones--are overwhelmed and exhausted and pretty much leave the kids to get on with things alone, I wonder if boarding schools could ever be a place of safety and community--secondary OFC to education--for today's kids.
