response to thevans70:  Again, why don't we just change
everything to fit what it is our kids want to do today, and make
excuses comparing college to High School schedules; one has
absolutely nothing to do with the other. Being in school on time
is not an obsession, it is a requirement! You are obviously one
of those parents who will go against rules just to appease your
"lazy" child. (THE)  Let's just say that your comment is a
pizzpoor response to mine. I disagree with every one of your
points. For instance, many high-school students will go on
immediately to college, so comparing the schedules of the two
types of institutions is valid. BTW, I don't have children, so I
am hardly a "lazy parent." But I have gone a long way through
the educational process, both as a student and as a professor,
so I think that I have a valid perspective.
