“…The importance of family education is self-evident. Theories of attachment (e.g., Ainsworth and Bowlby, 1991 ) have emphasized the influential role of parents in children's lives and it is possible that boarding reduces these important influences and may stunt personal development for younger students (also see Jack, 2020 ; Martin et al, 2021 ). Our research discusses whether the school can recreate a family-like environment to compensate for the loss of genuine family and community education in the home environment.…”

The lack of family education in boarding primary schools in ethnic minority areas negatively impacts students' physical and mental health. This study constructed an analytical framework for the lack of family education in boarding primary schools from the perspective of Overlapping Spheres of Influence theory. Stone Moon Primary School of Lisu in Nujiang Prefecture was used as the field site for questionnaire survey. The correlation analysis showed that “teachers' avoidance of educational risks”, “the priority in the schooling system of classic hard skills over soft skills” and “the capacity limit of policies and regulations” had significant positive correlation with the degree of “the lack of family education”. In the regression analysis, the adjusted R2 was 0.607, indicating that the proportion of “lack of family education” explained by the three factors of “teachers' avoidance of educational risks”, “the priority in the schooling system of classic hard skills over soft skills” and “the capacity limit of policies and regulations” was 60.7% through the regression relationship. Possible solutions include establishing a responsibility standard system and accountability system between teachers and parents, and strengthening the compensation management of family education function in boarding primary schools in ethnic minority areas.

The ABC-D of Boarding School Syndrome clarifies the anatomy of the series of psychological traumas and sexual abuses that contribute to what, in 2011, I first classified as Boarding School Syndrome. The premise is that going to boarding school at a young age may inflict emotional injuries with lasting psychological consequences. The purpose here, ten years on, is to elucidate more fully aspects of the trauma embedded in the earlier writings and in the book Boarding School Syndrome. Research over the intervening years has led to developing an understanding of this enduring harm as presented in adult psychotherapy patients. The initials ABC-D refer to the elements that constitute the multiple traumas suffered by the children: abandonment, bereavement, captivity and as a result, for some, disassociation. As a consequence, children may be vulnerable to sexual advances from paedophile adults, school bullies and the confusing, sexually charged, solace found in dormitories with other children. The accumulation of these events may have the long-term effect of distorting intimate relationships and adult sexuality.
