[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would not have sent a high schooler on a trip without parents in the first place. [/quote]

Nonsense! It’s a great age for her to learn semi-independent travel. [/quote]

[b]You can’t shelter your kids until the day they graduate high school and then ship them across the country to college. [/b]

The teen years are when to learn how to be independent as an adult. [/quote]

Yes you can. And, across the country?! Who are you kidding? My kids have to stay in state for financial purposes.[/quote]

DP. Many of us send our kids to schools that provide international trips, etc. so that they can experience the world that way and learn how to be on their own. And, yes, many/most parents on this site have children who will apply to out-of-state colleges.

And, even if they are in state, they surely will have to navigate smoking/drinking/drug culture in college. Help them learn how to deal with stuff instead of locking them in the house. This is not just a financial issue unless you are saying they will live at home and have teenage rules as adults in college.... which is bizarre. [/quote]

And not just in college. Surely even some high school kids are smoking and drinking. And, yes, even some middle school kids. They'll learn from this. [/quote]
