The speaker doesn't have a strong opinion on the topic of boarding schools. They mention that one downside of boarding or day schools is the need to constantly monitor students, which can feel restrictive and reminiscent of a rigid society. However, they acknowledge that schools have a responsibility to protect students and can be held liable for any issues that arise. They understand the reasons for monitoring but also recognize that it can be invasive. I don't have an opinion on it that much because obviously you know one of the things about having a boarding school or even a day school, though it's more limited in what they do there, is that there's a need or a desire to keep track of people at all times. It can almost be a little bit frightening in a way you know it's almost like some kind of you know closed you know very rigid society if you will you know where you know just like big brothers watching you all the time you know in 1984 and so I mean it is that kind of thing but at the same time there is the kind of what I call the loco parentis thing which is that the that the school and the administration and so on has parental authority over you. If something goes wrong they can get sued and that happened so I mean I can see why it's done but I can also see how it can be you know a little bit an invasion of privacy.
