<p>I agree that you provide the information and set expectations with your kids on all of these risky behaviors; do not rely on the schools to do so. If you are the type of parent who is concerned about what happens out of your sight/home, you many not be comfortable with BS. You will NOT be able to control any of these activities on your child’s campus (any more than you can control it anywhere), and all of the behaviors DO occur anywhere teenagers are, BS is no exception. If you decide to allow your child to board, you obviously trust your child and need to let these concerns go. None of these schools is a den of iniquity nor do I believe any one is more or less safe/dangerous. Know that the culture of your child’s school does not foster risky behavior, but accept that risky teenage behaviors absolutely do occur. Each school clearly spells out its rules, values, and community expectations. Supposedly, you’ve chosen to apply only to schools where this value package meets your approval. IMO, spending any time worrying about dating, sex, and drugs at BS is time wasted.</p>
