[quote=Anonymous]I am a high school teacher, and parents, especially when my own kids were a lot younger than high school age, were super fascinated about the teenagers I work with, kinda probing and weird at times in their questioning. My own take is that people are fascinated by teenagers and make a lot of presumptions about them, and newer parents may remember their own teenage years more clearly and feel pretty boggled by how it's going to go when they have a teenager of their own. Oh -- and there is also an underlying "what activities/academics are these teenagers engaged in to get into ___ fancy college" stuff that can be in the subtext.[/quote]
