[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you people expect your children to survive in college?[/quote] I'm 17:51, and I'll take that question. Everything I'm willing to do, I see as supporting my kids, not doing their actual work for them. That list is all things I did for DH while he was working full time and doing grad school at night. In college, the kids will have more free time available for studying on a day-to-day basis. Right now they're at school for 8 hours a day, have at least a few hours of homework a night due the next day, and an hour or two of extra-curriculars. In university, they will have maybe 3-5 hours of actual class time on a given day and the remainder of the day is available for study time. Even if they do have 120 pages of reading, it will probably be over the course of 2 nights not overnight since most classes are every other day, and they will probably have a time other than dinner time to do it. For high achievers, in terms of just time management, I think high school is probably worse than college or grad school. As long as it doesn't compromise my ethics, I'm willing to do anything I can in the background to support my kids in their studies.[/quote]
