[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I loosened the reins in 12th grade - so they could screw up at home, before they went off to college and screwed up there where nobody would notice it.

This is why I insisted my kids call home once a week. This is why any time they invited me to come visit, I go. So if there are any warning signs, I'm around to see them. [/quote]

This is actually fantastic advice.  They need to experiment under your roof.  Its the kids who a tightly controlled who go off the rails at college.[/quote]

This advice is meaningless. What does it mean to "experiment?" What are we talking about? Having a job and other responsibilities while living at home? Doing drugs? What?

What does it mean to be "tightly controlled?" Can we quantify that?

Do you have any facts supporting your argument, or are you just stating your opinion?[/quote]What is your problem?  Anybody is entitled to an opinion, and I don't see anything faulty with offering a different point of view.

If this viewpoint keeps a possible suicidal student alive, why do you feel the advice is meaningless?  No advice is meaningless if it accomplishes its goal.   [/quote]
