SOME parents don't think it's a good idea. But if they're the parents, why do they allow it (so often)?
They have no idea. By 7th grade, they are exhausted from 12 years of helicopter parenting or just too busy with younger siblings, aging grandparents, trying for a 3rd time to get a 504 plan for Jr's ADHD so he can get extra time for the SATs, DH's porn addiction, DW's eating disorder, divorces, emotional affairs, how to get a more polished/high end look, why DH's suit is covered with cockapoo hairs after each business trip, etc.
