The proportion of people in this country who do not need to work to live is very small. Most people depend on their work to provide their living whether they are on the minimum wage or earning over £100,000. All would soon be on their uppers if they were suddenly unemployed.
I went to boarding school, my father was in the forces and it was the only way to ensure I got a decent education (I went to 8 primary schools). Most of my fellow boarders were there for similar reasons; forces, diplomatic service, international companies. I can think of only a couple of girls at school, who were there for the convenience of their parents.
Both DC went to private schools at 11, one a boarding school. When DS, who was a weekly boarder, had a few problems and we went to talk to his house mother, she was very reassuring saying that as he came from a warm supportive family, he would get over them quite quickly (he did)
She also said that there were a few boys at the school for the convenience of their parents. She said they were always recognisable and they always looked out for them and tried to give them the support they needed.
We were constantly in and out of the school but many boys had parents who, as in my youth, were in the forces etc so found it difficult to visit the school, because their work moved them far from schools that may have been convenient when their son started at the school. There was physical detachment but among DS and friends I saw no lack of emotional closeness between parents and boys
