Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Excited for new school year?

With more trepidation than excitement. DS14 and DS12 are both heading to HS(two different schools). Heard one too many horror stories from other moms about the HS DS14 is heading to, pregnancies, drugs...and we live in an "award winning" school district. Not sure how well DS12 will adjust either being in a new school not knowing anyone, and I mean, goodness he still looks like a baby and will be taking some classes with 17-18 year olds! I think my kids are readier for HS than I am. I'm not ready to send them off to college in 4 years! Where did all the time go?
