[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but I am still having trouble with the whole "leaving campus" thing. What school allows this? Why would parents want their kids leaving school grounds, especially when they aren't old enough to drive themselves to appointments, or whatever reason it is that they have?
Nothing good comes from leaving campus. They're doing drugs.[/quote]

I know seriously, what schools in this are do this?  I would never let me kids go to one of those schools.  [/quote]

You don't trust your kids?[/quote]
I don't trust their judgment. Get a bunch of kids together without supervision and some bad stuff is going to happen. Your head is in the sand, my friend.[/quote]

You won't ever let your kids go out alone, even in the upper years of high school?! When will they ever learn to take care of themselves and how to make good decisions? And then you're going to send them off to college to screw up because they are finally out from under mommy & daddy's thumb, but they have no idea how to handle it! It's helicopter parents like you whose kids are going crazy at college because they've never been given any freedom or responsibilities. My DD is a freshman right now and is shocked at some of the kids who can't figure out how to get around by themselves, let alone make good decisions about their behavior. She says many of them talk about never having had any freedom while at home so they are so happy and excited to be free…to say that she and her friends who had reasonable parents find it pathetic is an understatement...[/quote]
