[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carson just sent out an email that the planning principal for Western will be talking to the 8th graders at Carson today. This was just added so they are just letting the families know. I am going to be interested to hear what he said to the kids. [/quote]

Yes, I think it's good that they're doing this. The kids need to hear about it from someone other than their parents. with graders are 13 and 14 years old - old enough to discuss this with their parents. I don't understand some of these parents who are trying to keep this info from their kids - 8th graders want to stay with their friends but also want to understand the impact to sports, theater, art, band, orchestra, chorus, etc.[/quote]

They are mad that this is happening at all and don’t want their kids to be part of it. They don’t want anyone telling their kids about it so they can control the messaging and convince their kids not to go there. God forbid a kid might actually want to opt in. Sad for kids whose parents helicopter to this extent. They’re never going to learn how to make decisions without a parent holding their hand. How do these parents let go once their kids go to college? Are they calling the university? [/quote]

Have you met some of them? I wouldn't be surprised if these are the parents that buy a condo in the town their kids go to college so they can continue to helicopter.[/quote]
