[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any parent that allows their child to convince them a gap year is in their best interest is the problem.  Not the kid, the parent.   A gap year?   for what purpose?  Oh the stress of life they need a year off before they take on this next challenge.   Grow a pair, tell your kid to buckle up and get some control of their poor decision making.

Now you are wondering what to do when the gap year is cancelled?   How about get a job?   That is usually a solid option that answers just about every problem one might have especially at 18 years old [/quote]

?? I know a kid doing some amazing things on her gap year. Lots of UK students I knew did them, usually an international service type. Growing experience. [/quote]

The first PP sounds really bitter and out of touch. Gap years can be valuable to kids trying to figure out what they’d like to do before starting school. Lots of maturation can happen that lets them go into school more focused. What’s the problem? [/quote]
