[quote=Anonymous]College transitions are hard. According to this, about 24% of first time college students drop out in the first 12 months. On this DCUM site, we see so much about how to get your kid into ..., but probably not enough discussion of how to support kids through the challenges of college. And it happens to a lot of kids! Even the kids who had 4.5 gpa's and got into competitive schools, as well as kids with 2.8 gpa's who are mostly doing o.k., but hit a difficulty along the way. Can we normalize the fact that kids are not pawns or robots who just churn out good grades and live to make their parents proud? Also, can we normalize that pursuing any higher education or other productive path is GREAT! There isn't just one "ideal" way to go to college. (I'm looking at those posters who denigrate various colleges/universities.) https://grownandflown.com/first-semester-college-does-not-go-as-planned/[/quote]
