First off, how do we know they didn't contact the parents?

I agree with your general opinion that it should be a matter of personal (and parental) responsibility. However, that hasn't succeeded to this point, as some students have been adversely impacted by the time they put in, and weren;t able to handle the responsibility given to them or balancing FIRST and the rest of their life. Rather than having this continue, sometimes it is the responsibility of the school to step in and try and ensure that these failures don't happen. Especially a selective private school with a history and reputation to uphold (such as the one in question).
