[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are far better off paying for college over high school.[/quote] You haven't been around working poor/ lower middle class people. College isn't a given. If the kids go to private high school they stand a much better chance to go to college because they will have a different peer group. Most parents who pay over 10,000 for high school expect their kids to go to college. OP- you and DH are doing the right thing. Keep trying and begging them to accept, it might be too late with the 14 year old but you might have a chance with the 12 year old. I have 2 sil's that never attended college. I pay my nephews and nieces 100 dollars a semester if they get straight A's, 75 for all A's and one B (except PE I don't count as long as they pass). We are the only family members who encourage academics. If I had the money we would pay for one nephew who tries really hard to get straight A's to go to private school. [/quote]
