My son is 9 and has been doing a special karate class for about a year and a half. It has been a real help to him with cordination and motor planning. The school anounced that they are moving to another location and although its not that far away (maybe a 30 minute drive) its not a good neighborhood. I worry about going there and leaving my car parked in the street and walking around the area. I worry about him seeing things that he should not like drug users. Its realy not a place I want to hang out and I don't feel safe there. Its a downtown area in a medium sized city. My husband thinks I am over reacting but I am thinking of taking him out of karate and either finding another class for him somewhere else or just dropping Karate and having him do another sport that he would enjoy instead. I am realy not sure what to do here as he does like the class and the instructors are realy good but I am not comfortable with where they are moving to. Any thoughts on what you would do?
Thanks,
Jessica.
