[quote=Anonymous]I would bring it up now. I have a HS junior. I felt like we were having that conversation all along but now she still seems resentful. I'm not sure she 'got it.' Ours is a little bit more nuanced-- we are willing to pay for "wow" schools but don't want to pay big bucks for schools roughly comparable to our in state public option. So it's a harder conversation-- what constitutes "wow." More to your issue-- kids will start thinking and talking about this stuff in ninth grade. Depending on your HS, a lot of kids will be talking about expensive schools. (Plenty will also be in families with your perspective, but they won't be talking much.). I'd make sure the kid understands the situation when he first hears those conversations so you don't need to break bad news once he has one ambition in mind.[/quote]
