umm how about the real world? I know some think of college as a 'halfway house' of sorts, where mom and dad can oversee but the kid is pretty free. Which is fine and certainly easier to force mom and dad to give up some control than if a kid is under your roof, but I hope by 18 my kid will have already met many people of many cultures and many backgrounds/walks of life. But then I homeschool, so my kid is not locked with the same demographic/age group all day
