[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, for all you parents flipping out, what do you expect college to be like in two months? There will be parties, sex, drugs and even more celebrating that parents are watching over them like wardens. Just like college, people at beach week are not required to engage and can not attend or just do daytime fun like chill on the beach.

Plus beach week is different now. Most houses have at least 1-2 parents as chaperones. Most ask students to walk a certain line, such as curfew, no hard liquor, no drugs. My student says they plan to have fun at the beach each day, talk to friends from other houses, go to different parties and then play cards later at night their own house with their friends.

Our house has two parents at the house at all times during the week (doing it in shifts so no parent has to do all week).

Thank you, exactly, this. I think many kids go to beach week and have a lot of fun without it being out of control or reckless. I’m sure they figure out someway to get alcohol, even the ones who didn’t have much or any experience with it in high school, but it doesn’t mean they all go off the deep end. And, as other posters and said, they will be encountering all of this in college, that’s beyond our control, I think better that they get some exposure and experience with a trusted group of high school friends before they are off to college.[/quote]
