Eben, continuing on the "just cuz you could do it, doesn't mean I'll let you do it" theme...
My 15 year old daughter goes to a private school, and is really into classical music. Her music class wanted to do an UNSUPERVISED, OVERNIGHT trip to NYC (to see 3 concerts over 2 days). Again, these were high school sophomores, unsupervised.
Now, my daughter is pefrectly capable of getting on a train, getting off at the right stop, walking to a hotel, feeding herself, finding the concert, etc...There was no one skill required that she doesn't have. That being said, never in a million years would I have ever let her do it. Buit there were parents who said OK. I was simply stunned.
Too over-protective for you? You seem very thoughtful, so I'm curious what your opinion is...
