Good to hear other parents are checking on where their kids go. More parents need to do this. Also good to hear S18 is squeaky clean.
After working with the 5% of boys that are the most delinquent I was beginning to think too many teens were out of control. When one mostly sees hammers and nails for 7 years, one almost forgets that there are other tools, bolts, nuts, and screws to assemble things. (sorry for the mechanical picture)
People working in youth corrections need to visit with the honor students more (the 5% of teens at the other end of the bell curve) to balance their view of kids these days.
OG Lou, thanks for your reply. I try to read most of your posts to others on the BB and see if I can adapt the situation or advice to my situation.
