[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who is not learning disabled, but is behind in a few subjects. Everyone on this board talks about wanting their kids to get into the best colleges, etc., but I want to know, what should we be pushing our child to do, realistically. Our kid isn't going to get into an Ivy League school or UVA/Virginia Tech. They're not going to be a scientist or a doctor. What should they consider? What did your average to below average children end up doing successfully?[/quote]

1. You need stop reading the College Forum here in DCUM. The "best" college is the one that best fits your child. Not necessarily an Ivy League or UVA where the % that get admitted is very low anyway.

2. I would still encourage my child to pursuit a college degree. GMU, VCU, JMU or simply start at NVCC.

Did you or your spouse attend an Ivy League school? Or became a scientist/doctor?

If money is not an issue, why deny your child the opportunity of an Education? The world needs more than scientist and doctors. [/quote]
