<<So they have winter activities, practices and games, I assume, but still have time to hang out after school?>>
Why would you assume that when it's not what has clearly been stated?
<<And he still hangs out at school as much?>>
Clearly my previous posts on this subject were not read, please re-read.
<<Soooo..he hangs out at school, waiting for you to pick him up after you get off of work and then you take him to the activities, which are not in or near the school?>>
No, but where do you get this stuff?
<<You need a library to do homework? :0 So you allowed him to come home, alone, once this year? Isn't he a teenager?>>
At times, yes...for research, do they not use libraries in your area?

So you admit you spoke incorrectly?

You didn't answer the why....why do they need "roving security guards"?

If you won't answer the questions and continue misrepresent what I have said in the past (which I will always correct, heads up there) then there isn't much to discuss.
I have said things a million times as well, just saying.

Paying two people differently or awarding privileges based on an irrelevant factor is a double standard. It's the presence of the irrelevant factor that makes it unfair or unjust, and therefore a double standard. So that would be like you giving your younger son more privileges because he had a different eye color or because he was taller, when eye color and being taller were not requirements of having the privilege. Unfair, unjust, not warranted = double standard.
Unless you are saying it's unfair or unjust to have different rules based on maturity levels. Kids might think it feels unfair or unjust, but adults can probably agree it makes a lot of sense and constitutes good parenting where there is a good reason and it is warranted, that it's fair and just.

That's a good way of saying it...both my kids like the transition in the morning and the evening.
