This is part two of a series of podcasts over the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of boarding academies. I’ve had hundreds of conversations with people over the past 20 years since my high school graduation and always find it interesting to hear how divided people are over boarding schools. In this podcast we’ll discuss question one: Did boarding school help or hinder your view of sexuality?
