ou also run into the fact that it is a distraction that can keep her up late (even if just chatting innocently online). At this age, the kids need sleep.
i learned how to deal with no sleep in high school, which allowed me to dominate college. all the protected kids who didn't learn how to budget their time lost their mind (i literally saw them have meltdowns at points in honors college). i get your overall point, but you have to remember that high school is used to allow kids to develop methods to study, live, make decisions, etc that will make their college career easier.

Exactly people who hadn't made any decisions on their own were screwed once they got to college. I mean how can they not be, for 18 years they had every decision made for them. It is important for kids to learn to choose to do the right thing on their own. It is even important for them to fail sometimes. However parents should minimize the adverse effects of that.
I know one guy that for the first year and a half of college his mom would drive 2 hours to be there every couple of days to cook for him, do his laundry and help him with his homework and even so much as to make flash cards for him.
