[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you tell your kid they are not allowed to leave campus.  Unbelievable that you can find a way to blame the school for this.[/quote]

Seriously I can’t believe that if as a parent you care that you can’t figure out how to enforce it. I mean tell them no. If they do it, take aware their source of funds, take the phone, ground them. Whatever. [/quote]

Taking their phone away for leaving campus is punishing them after the fact. It is not enforcing the school’s supposed closed campus policy.

Again, only the school can enforce that. Parents are not in the building.[/quote]

We’re talking high schoolers, not two year olds. They’ll get the connection. And parents are not as powerless as you make them out to be. [/quote]

You keep talking in circles to avoid acknowledging the obvious point that enforcement of the school's closed campus policy rests with the school, not the parents. It defies logic to say people who are not physically in the school building are more responsible to enforce the closed campus policy more than the adults who are in the school building.

But then again, I don't think you possess or prize ration and logic anyway. So this is a moot discussion.[/quote]

If this is what you choose to egt fired up about you really should consider home school or private.  I feel like you have no clue what goes on in a high school.  This is small potatoes.[/quote]

You’re right- it may be small potatoes. But if it is, then why should we accept the state our schools are in? Why is the burden on parents to either go private or homeschool, both of which aren’t an option for most families? You say it as if it’s easy, as if it’s an actual choice for people. We’re active in our school community and are trying to change what we can to improve our schools, but it’s a huge task that feels overwhelming sometimes. Privileged comments like these don’t help.

Literally tell your kid she can't go.  Done.

When kids talk back to teachers does that mean that she does as well?  No.  Just because someone else is breaking a rule doesn't mean you should too.  And guess what if she does....its part of growing up.  Relax[/quote]
