Ender talks with Dink one day, and Dink notes his own realization that the teachers are the enemy. Dink also explains that he has read old books about "normal" kids, which showed him that the Battle School boys are not "normal." "Children aren't in armies, they aren't commanders, they don't rule over forty other kids, it's more than anybody can take and not get crazy." Dink notes that no one there ever cries or talks about home. You can read more at the GradeSaver link below:

Dink also talks about his childhood and how he was very very rich and used to go to school in a limousine or in a bugatti most of the days. He said he had to choose this because he really liked being part of an army.
