[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just not a big deal to me since my kid is going to college in about 75 days. I don’t serve alcohol to high school kids, but my DC has been to about 7 grad parties in the last week and all had bartenders serving the kids. Literally EVERY ONE. Everyone takes Ubers. I don’t think this is strictly a private school thing. Our neighbors send their kids to the local public school and hosted a grad party last weekend. Parents were mingling with kids - all drinking.

Agree with you.  We have hosted teen parties in the basement for 15 year olds and have not served any alcohol, but these kids are resourceful and get older siblings to buy it for them.  No driving - everyone picked up by a parent or an Uber.

Side note, we are at the public school.  Ironically, the private school kids have been the worst in terms of respecting our home and belongings.

Even with the damage, I will let my kids host again.  Many of today's teens are lagging socially especially after the pandemic.  Where are these kids supposed to hang out?  Hanging out with friends face to face versus texting via your smart phone is good for them![/quote]
