[quote=Anonymous]My kids (one in college now and one in high school) have always known the expectation is that they go to college and get degrees, but beyond that we weren't talking about it in middle school nor choosing extracurriculars or classes based on what might "look good" for college selections. Down the line when the time comes, my advice would be worry less about getting into a "good" school and more your child finding the right school for him/her, that is financially feasible. And keep in mind that what your kid is interested in now (studies-wise, and college major) can change dramatically between now and college application time. Of course emphasize the importance of education and learning, but let your kid be a kid now. [/quote]
