"<>

I don't know, I know a lot of parents of his classmates, it would depend on the situation."

So...you DON'T know friends of friends and their parents, right?

"<>

I had more freedom as in more than my sons do now. I don't let them go outside of a few block area and I was able to at this age. I didn't say the neighborhood was different, just a different time in life."

Please explain....

<<So what is the answer then? Do they have winter activities? Do they have pratices and games in the winter?>>


Again; yes and yes.


<<I read them, you said your son hangs out after school. >>


So then you have no more questions on this subject, great.


<<Ok, please explain then.....What time does he get picked up after school (after activities and hanging out)?>>


Again; he goes to school and after school sometimes he does his homework in the library (needing research and/or wanting computer time), some days he has school activites after schoolm,

<-->jobs don't have one person who is logging in personal days, sick days and vacation days so they will appear on paychecks. >>


I don't, in smaller companies that is certainly possible but to have one person responsible for that in a larger company that could be multi state and even multi country,

Some of my best friends (and some whom I still keep in close contact with) throughout HS were 3-6 years older than I was, and I started "associating/hanging out" with them when I was 13ish.

"Yes, especially when the "hanging out" is because they are waiting for a parent to pick them up as the school has no buses after the 3pm end time."

Nah, not really. I imagine most high school kids would be able to get home on their own somehow.

Do you really find it odd that a teenager would choose to study with friends rather than go home alone?

<

None of us would ever thought to do any damage. This is our school. We had some pride in it.


I cant imagine my kids causing trouble at a place where everyone knows them, knows me and thier dad. Where people are comming in and out of constantly. It seems a bit overblown to connect a public school yard with such hazards.>>


Exactly....very well said.
