[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in Ballston last week and came across a group of W-L kids openly smoking weed on the street shortly after getting out of class.

Just how pervasive is the drug culture at W-L?  I knew it was very large and that a lot of kids feel unseen but I’m now thinking it really is a school best avoided.  [/quote]

Of ALL the students exiting WL after school, what percentage is that one group that you happened to see? What does feeling unseen have to do with drug use (to you)? Why would you personally think your student would mingle with that one group that you saw? Other than not going to a "school best avoided," what are you personally doing to prepare your student to make choices that you will agree with? What if your student still, despite your best avoiding, wants to attend the IB program? What if their friend group attends WL? Do you think your student will feel unseen and jump to using the devil's lettuce? If so, why? What's your part in that? So much to think about when you're not making rush judgments. [/quote]
