How is boarding school life in the UK and the USA these days?
I'm writing a story set in my mum's school, Westminster, but I feel that not she nor I have enough experience with boarders to write a realistic story. Any simple information, social information, etc., on boarding schools would be adored. (google isn't doing much, LOL.) OHMAHGAAHHH this is EVERYTHING I needed. Thank god. I love you so much. YOU ARE MY SAVIOUR. :D You totally deserve the 10 points you're getting.

I went to a boarding school ( ENGLAND ) I HATED IT ! I lasted a whole term - i think you call them semesters. Wellll basically: There is about 3 -5 people in a dorm You get woken up by your House Mistress ( basically a teacher who acts like a mother figure in the house ) You go down to breakfast with the other boarders - usually something like cold sausages and luke warm milk and cereal. Then you have lessons Then you have break where you eat LOADS OF TOAST :) Then you have more lessons Then you have lunch where you get to socialise with your friends Then at my school we had this thing called carosel which is basically where your divided into groups within your year group and do a random activity that you don't get to choose, e.g fencing, self defence, photography etc. Then you have lessons Then you have sport Then you have dinner Then you have prep - where you do your homework Then you have some free time Then lights out by 9. Eughh i HATED it. It's torture, and you don't get to chose who you share a room with. there is some SERIOUS bitchy ness and it isn't all inocent, people have sex in the chapel YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT. eugh grose. :] hope i helped ? a little bit maybe ? x x x

there's minimum temperatures for what work places (and I suppose schools too) can be and if it gets below that they have to close ... but I'm not aware of any maximum temperatures ... this happened at one place where I used to work where the automatic system broke down, the windows could not be opened, and the temperature soared ... but we couldn't walk out because legally there's no maximum temperature !!! crazy
2 :
i really doubt that's gonna happen, just pretend you'e sick ;

I don't think there is. Look it up on Google.com.
2 :
Hogwarts School of Wizarding and Magic
3 :
Don't know. But I'd say to avoid it. It's a false sense of power and well being. Also, there's no such thing as "good" witchcraft, incase you heard that some place. True happines comes from within.
4 :
There is no specific school for it, but there are random people who teach/know about that kind of stuff all around the world.

How to tie-up with schools in USA / Singapore / UK for used text books for school students in India
How to tie-up with schools in USA / Singapore / UK for used text books for school students in India ?
School students in India get pleasure and knowledge in reading books rich with pictorial illustrations etc. The books published in USA / Singapore / UK are very good but too costly. Students in USA / UK / Singapore who have used the books and passed out of their schools may wish to donate such books for distribution to needy students/ libraries etc in India. How does one get to organise such tie-ups between schools in USA and our trust organisation which shall do the distribution in India??

I guess you need to have networks. Find people from your school who have connections with schools outside. And then start writing letter-requests.
2 :
u have to contact through NGOS
3 :
Find a sponser and also get a connection who can get you cheap deals on airfrieght and postage. Otherwise, it will be very expensive to send/remit books over. Alternatively, you may wish to approach the publisher to get some of the old copies [that may not be relevant/wanted] sent over. (: hope that helped.
