[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's all relative, OP. Push your kid just enough, but not over the line. That "line" is relative. Your kid doesn't need to make $200K/year. FWIW, one of my kids is an academic powerhouse, and the other is not. We expect the "not" one to do their best, and we provide supplemental material to help them, but we've never gotten them a tutor. We guide and inform them of what it takes to get into xyz college, and to be able to be financially independent as an adult. This DC will not go to a T50, or maybe even a T100 given how incredibly competitive the college landscape is today. But, we have been teaching them what it takes to be financially stable. That doesn't mean financially "well off". I come from a lower to lmc family but we are umc now. So, maybe it's your expectations coming from an umc background.[/quote] Serious question- how did you know your kid was not as smart vs. just not applying themself? Why didn't you get them a tutor?[/quote]
