teens and drinking

<p>I had written something in response to this yesterday, then didn’t post it because I didn’t think I was adding anything or thought my comments might get jumped on. But I see the thread is still alive, and so I’ll throw in my 2¢.</p>

<p>I would hold it against the school — not so much against the administration or even the student body, but against a larger notion of what that specific school represents to prospects such as many of us.</p>

<p>Because it comes down to this: Do I want my kid going to a school where students’ moral compasses are so skewed as to both drink to the vomiting point AND speak about such juvenile excesses proudly and openly within earshot of an adult?</p>

<p>In my case, the answer is “No.” </p>

<p>And truthfully, if I had been in Rellielou’s shoes, I would probably be on the phone to the school this morning — not with any intention of “busting” the kids in question…but just to inform the admin that “Hey, you know, your students may not be doing you any favors in the PR department…” If I were an admin of the school I know that I A) would be extremely embarrassed; and B) would consider ways to address the matter with the student body and parents.</p>
