[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's extremely difficult to get into the top colleges.  Don't view that as the only way to success.  I think grad school is the new college.[/quote]

Totally disagree. Not sure what kind of “grad school” you’re talking about but most master’s degrees and PhDs are a waste of time & money. If you’re independently wealthy, which is the only way you could disregard the discussion of ROI, carry on.

Do undergrad the right way, and you won’t need grad school.[/quote]

Maybe I am crazy - but a JD quadrupled my salary.  I do expect my kids to go to grad school - my oldest is interested in engineering, and both my dad and his dad had engineering master degrees (paid for by their companies, I believe).[/quote]

I have a college freshman and what I think is most important for middle schoolers is to develop good study habits. If you child masters this they will have an easier time in HS and college. Also, allow your child to fail and learn from natural consequences in middle school, don't be tempted to step in if they are not doing something well buy give them pointers so they can figure things out themselves.
