Not really, interested in the process that produces "coveted" college spots. I was a free ride at a small no name engineering school sort. Ideally, we forgo college altogether unless they get a sports scholarship or something. Just don't want my kids to have to navigate some of these behavioral situations, that aren't their issues.

You should be assuming your kids won’t get a sports scholarship even with that “elite” club they play in. 🙄. As for navigating tough situations, that’s life. Good experiences for your kids not to be afraid of the world.

So, you feel comfortable making it tough for my kids? I punched a kid in my math class in high school teacher looked the other way, because I was the best math student.

If you think that’s tough you haven’t done much in life. And no teacher looked the other way because you think you were the best at math.

A fine makes zero sense, but I do think all schools need a virtual option. In person school should be reserved for the kids that want and are able to learn without being disruptive. Schools can assign virtual education if student cannot sit in class without being a distraction and disruption.

So a fine? You're just playing semantics.

A virtual education of, say, a 7 year old would mean that one of the parents can't work and has to be at home to supervise. So you're taking away their ability to provide for that child?

School isn’t obligated to be your childcare.
