[quote=Anonymous](1) A 3.0 GPA is not that bad. In my home state, all HS students graduating with a 3.0 were guaranteed admission to at least one state university. Your son earning a 3.0 doesn't mean he's not capable of benefitting from further education. You telling him that over and over again though probably does permanent damage to his self esteem, so please stop. You don't want to pay for college - fine, say that, but don't tell your son he's not worth it. That's awful. (2) He wants to tour college campuses? Great! Take him to the nearest community college. Have him meet with the admissions office, pick up a catelogue of courses, see the fees, and then just wait and see how and if that changes his motivation to get a part time job. There may be an option to take one course per semester now while he's in HS and have it count towards his HS diploma, as well as future college education. I did that, it was great. It will give your son a flavor for what college can offer.[/quote]
