[quote=Anonymous]I have two stories for you. My youngest is highly motivated and works very hard. Great grades. Bombed the SATs. We spend more than $5k on test prep and tutoring and she worked hard. Her scores increased by 40 points. So for me personally, I wouldn’t make SAT performance the criteria I’d use for decision making. I also have a son who is extremely bright but has disabilities. He could never have handled college at 18. He started community college at 21 and it took a full year until he displayed good student behaviors. For three semesters he took only one class at a time and even with that he failed one class. The plan is for him to complete an AA degree then move to a four year school. We do require medication - ADHD and mental health issues. But as he matured it stopped being an issue. However, we found therapy to be a complete waste of time and money. [/quote]
