[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not encourage that and help him find a good school fit as he may never want to go after a year out.[/quote] I agree. I think gap years can work for kids who are focused on using that time to prepare for a near-future college endeavor, with a defined end date and plan for that gap “year”. I honestly don’t know of any person that had a successful gap year. The ones I know ended up being bums and dropouts, and in some cases became drug addicts. Otherwise this just sounds like a bullsh#t term used by parents who don’t want their friends and family to know that their kid just doesn’t want to go to college. [/quote]
