8. HS or college senior?

There are worse practices for a young woman still in HS to take up in the name of "life-long learning of practical skills." One thing is for sure: Your kids will surprise you, so stay engaged with her despite the anger, embarrassment, and sadness you may initially feel for both the student and teacher! Encourage her to maintain healthy personal boundaries of body and mind as she associates with other adults ready and perhaps, in your estimation, too willing to "mentor" the process of what and how she learns, if that is your concern.

Do remember that once kids cross the magic 18, there's really a whole new ballgame of self-responsibility in adult exploration of things you might consider have little truth and/or the pseudo-sciences you might consider occult and/or metaphysical.
