Sylvan,

I think that you have made some excellent points. To piggy back on your post, there may be a major disconnect, because daughter and possibly mom may believe that D knows everything and can handle it all on her own. The results of daughter’s actions tell a different story, especially since she has had some major missteps and has made some questionable judgement calls.

Engineer4life and Joan2 also bring up some really valid points. Your daughter placed herself and the school at great risk by turning a blind eye to the fact that one of her friends was high at a school function. Imagine what could have happened if this student got behind the wheel of a car, or in their altered state caused harm to another student? It would have been a night mare for the school. Being in charge means that you have to make tough and sometimes unpopular decisions.
