[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't believe in pretending that each kid has the same needs. Kids should know we treat them as unique individuals... with different needs.[/quote]

There is a good saying about that: "Fair does not mean giving each child the same thing. Fair means giving each child what she needs."[/quote]

But all these kids needed a college education.  D1 got it.  D2 got half.  D3 got none.  Unfair.[/quote]

D3 got expensive private school and flunked out. Parents were not rich to begin with. Did their best with each one, given their financial picture at that time and that particular kid's apparent abilities. Parents didn't make her squander the high school opportunity. [/quote]

They should have known it was dumb to pay for expensive high school and rely on financial aid.  How expensive was the high school, OP?  Was it like college or cheap like a Catholic school in LOw COL area they felt would pay for much more later?  Otherwise can’t imagine making that choice.[/quote]
