    Dad and his daughter

    I read the above posts with interest since I, too, have a daughter attending Sate U and have had the same feelings. We had her take self defense classes, read the "Gift of Fear", and read every internet and newspaper article dealing with this issue. The poor thing is probably scarred for life...

    Varsity Sports USNA

    Not an expert but ... We worried about the same issues with DS (swimmer). His fall season was busy with morning, afternoon, and Saturday practices with very little time to do much extra beside student government and 2-3 AP courses. He thought about water polo in the spring but then opted out...

    Helicopter parents and you

    I don't know about anyone else but I feel like having my DS attend a SA is a little "freeing". :rolleyes: DD attends #3 party school in the nation. Great school, hard school, but a big party school. She pledged a top tier sorority and took off running. I was unsure how she would handle...

    Congrats! What a great feeling of accomplishment for your DS. DS's dad is a USAFA grad too! I just purchased "Brief Points" for him for Christmas so the family could start getting acclimated to "The Navy Way".
