Blodfather. Roedean School for Girls is the NUMBER ONE most expensive school in the UK! She will become more isolated, insulated, and wrapped up in proverbial 'cotton-wool' than if she stayed in China to be educated.

'If she doesn't like it, she can leave', right? Then what? She goes off to a 'normal' school only to be ridiculed as a Roedean dropout/failure.

I'm afraid I'm with Fifi on this one mate. Esther is your child and it's your decision to make, but for her sake please make sure it's the right decision and not just some Chinese-style whim.

There are plenty of 'good schools' that you could choose from. If she's going to grow up into being a normal person, why the need to send her to such an elite school?
