From losing track of one to custody battles to actual traffic accidents to schools relinquishing their obligation to account for and provide safety during the school day.

Middle and high school age? Kids get in trouble from after school to about 8pm depending on if the have to be home for dinner. That’s when they are on their own and have bad choices put right in front of them. From alcohol drugs and sex, if they want it they can find it. Adding time (regardless of how much this academy thinks it’s watching them) is opening another window for bad choices.
