[quote=Anonymous]It is so bizarre to think of a kid having an interest in college, and his parents actively working to discourage that. Is there really no middle ground? What about telling him you will take him to see a small number (two or three) of his top choice schools within a reasonable travel distance, so he can get a flavor for what college is like. You never know, actually seeing the environment might give him the motivation he needs to start working harder. Then let him handle his applications, with the agreement that you'll take him to visit any schools he gets into and has a plan for affording. You're giving him the chance to have what he wants, but he'll have to put the work in to prove he really wants it.[/quote]
