Now that they are middle-school ages. they&#39;ve expressed interest in finding out &#34;how everyone else lives&#34;. &#xA;&#xA;Considering we&#39;ve come this far, we can&#39;t just say &#34;no&#34; and have agreed to let them go check it out. We went to the school (a few weeks ago) and they told us we&#39;d need to speak with the principal. After 2 emails went ignored, we sent a third email that had a little information from the state on the legality of our request, and heard back in an hour, lol. He wants us to come meet with him, tomorrow, 8:30am. &#xA;&#xA;Personally, don&#39;t want my kids to go for probably 100 different reasons, but I&#39;ve got to be supportive.&#xA;&#xA;How long will they last? Will I lose them to the system, or will they realize what they have and return? &#xA;&#xA;Ugh.  &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
