Why boarding schools produce bad leaders

[Legender75]

6. Boarding School damage

I went to boarding school at age 5 - a decision that my father's family thought was the most optional given that my father had no home and my mother was not allowed to have anything to do with me (!!!)
And I can attest that that experience scarred me for life. It wasn't being bombed or being moved around from home to home for 2-3 years, it was being incarcerated, for six years, together with 9 other little girls, in a large house that was converted into a boarding school. I can look at pictures of me before that time when I am laughing and obviously at ease with myself, and then look at the few pictures I have afterwards when I am standing and taking up the smallest space I can in the world. And yes, being in a relationship has never worked. I tried, many times. Now, in my 70s I can look back on many deep and enduring friendships, but no intimate relationship.
I agree. Boarding School is immensely and permanently damaging.
