I am deeply disturbed that King Intermediate School has a recruiting office right on campus. This is not even a high school. Of course it may be argued that it is ‘off-campus’ because the gym is on county property, or some other nonsense, but go see it for yourself the next time you drop off your recycling at the KIS bin–it’s right there. For that reason alone my kids will not attend King when they get older. When they are 18–fine! But 12?

I’m surprised to read about the change in release of info onm high school students to military recruiters. My recollection is that public schools that receive federal money are obliged to to provide the info unless the parents elect to withhold it. I wonder if the switch (to withholding the info unless the parents authorize its release) squares with the federal law? I hope so; I made sure neither of my kids’ info was released before they turned 18. After that, it was up to them.
