Our DD's school allows seniors to leave campus during study halls/free periods, with parental consent. I'd like to know how other parents have handled this option where available. Do you place limits on where your child can go -- i.e., OK to go out for lunch or a snack, but not to go shopping? (Obviously, the school can't and wouldn't be expected to enforce such limits, so you would be relying on your kid to honor this part of the deal.) Do you limit the amount of time they can spend off-campus? Do you make this privilege contingent on grades? I should say that our DD is a really good kid and that we realize she'll be a college freshman next year and will be making this kind of decision on her own all the time, but, still, I'm not sure how much freedom to allow at this time. Thanks for your insights.
