I've always wondered why people are transferred all over the place like this. Can't each region/office/school/police station hire local people instead? It makes no sense to live away from spouses and your children, or move kids all over the place especially when they are young. How many doctors are from Kopedo? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

I went to boarding school before I turned 9. It's not a new phenomenon. Many have gone through such before na wako sawa. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

All those asking why anyone sends their 9 year old to boarding school are still hating their parents for doing this. And they don't have their own children yet.
There are so many reason why a parent would send a child to boarding. Everybody have their own reasons. Just have your own children and decide whether you want them to go to boarding in Primary or not. Choices have consequences. For me, yes boarding is a must from class 5. And it has worked! Talk of the TV, the time wasting on the road, getting tired, interruptions, etc
The fore issue was accident. How many children are killed everyday on the road to and fro school? How many fires happen at home killing the days-scholars? So let us not get emotional and say boarding is to blame.

I didn't go to boarding but, my kids did, and it turned out it was the right decision. Just choose a good school.

kila mwamba ngoma, ngozi huvuta kwake.
Those that have the kids in boarding will claims its the best thing, better that block bread, and those that do not have them in boarding will claim its the worst thing.
vile @alpha amesema, there are consequences, lakini at the end of the day ukipata watoto, then its your obligation to look after them and get the best of them in life, whether you outsource that responsibility or do it yourself.

You agree that its hard to control kids because of tv's and time wasting on the road, and also agree its not right to get emotional when kids die while going to save their box in a fire at school. kids that age need to be with the parents if possible.
