[quote=Anonymous]This is the OP. The drug culture thing is something I've heard before, having already sent one son through high school. He graduated from a private day school with a "drinking culture". The local public high school is my town was known for its "weed culture." A lot of parents in town said the private school kids had more problems because they were more privileged and thus had greater access to drugs and alcohol. I recently talked to my son (now in college) about this. He said this is ridiculous, especially because in later years of high school public and private school kids went to the same parties and were pretty much exposed to the same influences. He said "parents just tell themselves this stuff to make themselves feel better." I'm not sure if I completely believe him, but it was an interesting perspective and makes me think kids are very much the same no matter where you send them to school. They find their group of friends and (hopefully) they usually make responsible choices.[/quote]
