[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I'm very grateful for this thread, despite the inevitable snark. 
My daughter has some serious learning disabilities; she has an IEP and I would love to see B's on her report card.

It's inevitable that we worry about our children's future. My daughter likes to paint fingernails; I'm going to see if she can volunteer at an animal shelter; and she likes to cook. That's as far as I've gotten. She is short and stocky, as I am, and middle school girls can be cruel. I worry about her socially (she is not quick or talkative, and her friends have fallen away as physical beauty is emphasized more and more).  I hear good things about Montgomery College.

We are from a very academic family, and I got straight A's and was miserable and lonely. My DD is happier than I was, and stronger in a way. She has no illusions about her path ahead. 
A friend of mine's eldest son didn't go to college (not sure why). He's a professional cook, and seems very happy and successful. 
I do think that we will see many changes in the next few years. Middle school is just a question of survival for many of us!
