[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While safety is always going to be a concern, I know my children can't live in a bubble forever. I've let my high schooler take the bus to the metro for the past two years to attend an after school class in Tenley and plan to keep doing so unless she tells me she's uncomfortable. I rode the T in Boston when I was in high school and loved the freedom it afforded me.[b] I saw a lot more (in terms of crime and unusual people) than my friends who had parents driving them everywhere but I was also much more self sufficient than others when I got to college and that was a good thing. Talk to your kids about dangers and give them strategies to confront situations but let them figure things out too. I'm not advocating dropping them off in a high crime neighborhood at midnight or anything but I think allowing them to metro or bus to school or activities in high school is fine.[/b] [/quote] This.[/quote]
