[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 15 yo DD freshman.  She started on time in VA with an October birthday.  Many are 15 in 9th grade.  She also hates school.

My older son, recently graduated, hated school from K-12.  So did DH and so did I.  None of us needed therapy or medication.

It’s a grind and there’s a lot that’s not enjoyable about school. Some people love going and others just don’t.

Now, there were parts some of us liked. I liked my sports teams and so did my son.  My daughter likes her friends and seeing them.  I don’t think my husband liked anything about school.

My son is going to college for a major he wants to do and a career he wants to go into. That is the motivation for him.  He still doesn’t like classes and doesn’t have to but sees the endgame to get the degree and training.

DH and I went to college for similar reasons. [/quote]

Alternatively, college isn’t for everyone.  And the value of many college degrees is about to plummet due to AI.

Too many of you are overly-fixated on college for your kids, when you should be more concerned about their future well-being and what’s best for them (it is not always college).[/quote]
