[quote=Anonymous]I don't necessarily find tacky, but can be a band aid that doesn't stick for what ends up being a more intractable situation.

DD came to me some years ago about a GFM for an older, now HS graduate that she had known through a student mentoring program. The young woman was in her second year of college and was raising for tuition as her money had run out. I explained to DH that I was willing to contribute a modest amount of money but that the more appropriate solution would be transferring to a more affordable school. I told DD I hated saying that b/c she clearly has a dream of being at this school, but there was going to come a point when folks would stop contributing to the GFM, then she would be out at her current school with no real options of getting into a less expensive one.

I was also a litte annoyed with their school's CCO for allowing this to happen. They were clearly aware that she had received FA for her K-12 education. Perhaps they urged her to make a different set of decisions and she didn't listened.

So that's why GFM can trouble me.[/quote]
