<p>About laundry - I’m making sure my son learns how to do his own laundry now, while he’s home, and I’d expect him to do the same at bs . . . except for dress shirts, slacks & ties! It’s all well and good to say he should learn how to do this stuff, but I can’t afford to replace it on a weekly or monthly basis while he’s learning!</p>
<p>As for locks - I just looked at the website of one school that was recommended recently as a possible “late admissions” school and was rather appalled to discover that they require students to lock their rooms whenever they go out. Sorry, but that’s not the school for us. Locks instead of trust and integrity? Thanks, but no thanks!</p>
