[QUOTE="Zardo, post: 496570, member: 12490"] I so appreciate all of your responses. This particular school does allow it if parents sign a release. I guess for them it's an issue where they do take the "higher risk" kid and often times these kids come with baggage. There are fights they fight about doing work and being respectful, but they also choose not to fight this one in the interest of the greater good. I do have an update. I told my husband. He asked how GG was doing and I told him "he is very stressed out" he asked why and I told him that I will only tell him if his listens to the whole story before reacting and has an open mind. I told him that he is very nervous bc he feels he will not be able or willing not to smoke cigarettes and he knows where that will lead...said he is tired of sneaking around and knows where sneaking leads, etc. I told him that he felt panicky bc he knows he cannot talk to his dad about it and doesn't know what to do. I also told him how the school said similar things to all of you - how the "struggling" kids there all smoke cigarettes, none of the parents want them to, but all sign the paper in the end bc they don't want their kid to get expelled. With all of this information, he said he doesn't want to shut him out completely and if this is the case, he is all for getting an "e-cig" kit for him. We are still going to try to draw a line about the cigarettes, but if all else fails, we may have to reconsider. We have a family meeting this weekend and hopefully we will all be able to hammer out an agreement. [/QUOTE]
