in response to momof3children:

The overprotective parents that have no life other than their children perplex me. At what age do you cut the strings? We are talking about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. Lely is ranked as an “A” school. It is up to the individual student/family what academic and social experience they will choose. Life Lesson #1 - What you put into it is what you get out of it. It begins with the core ethics and values that parents/guardians instill in their children.

At what point do we teach our children that life can be struggling even challenging? That there ARE bumps in the road and not everybody plays nicely in the sandbox? If you continue to coddle young adults we are going to continue to have generations of deserving children that expect to get without doing.

Building the school on the island is a convenience it is not a matter of NEED. That is what makes this entire proposal preposterous.

Lely ranked as an A school? That's something new. Where did you get this information from??? The results aren't out for this year yet.
