[quote=Anonymous]Am planning to offer our son and daughter the ability to arrange a different kind of trip with close friends.  I do think it’s really nice to have something to memorialize the end of high school and to get a bit of independence. When I went to beach week at Dewey, from a local public school, there was drinking, some drugs and lots of sex.  The extent to which that was the guiding factor of the week was shocking even then to me as a teenager.  There was also a good amount of what we would now recognize as date rape, and some group sex with teenagers who were clearly drunk.  I’m not a prude and I’m a relatively hands-off parent, but that situation was far more extreme than I encountered at any time in college (or after).  I would far rather our kids decide upon and plan a trip with good friends somewhere they want to go then to follow along with beach week just because it seems like eight right of passage or ritual that is, frankly, pretty gross and not fun for a many involved.
