[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure one reason parents choose schools that are far away is for a good reason to lull themselves into thinking the kids behave better there. (Out of sight, out of mind.) Sure, some schools are owning up to it a little better than others, but MS is a bit of a zoo wherever you go, including Deal, where I go by on a regular basis. You just might not see it.

Consider this: I've had my otherwise untroubled and near straight A student reported to me by neighbors about a loitering incident. There is no way that I would have known about it, had it not been for someone I know, who knows my child, and his friends bringing it to my attention. And I we put an end to it. Not only that, it gave us a welcome and very specific chance to have a conversation that you will otherwise simply not have, as much as you may try something like "tell me about what you do after school". I something of a free-range parent but care very much that my kids take ownership of their whereabouts and surroundings, and that they do so in disregard of other bad apples (including parents crossing streets while the walk sign is on red). Having them at school in the neighborhood is invaluable, protects them too in so many lasting ways.[/quote]
