[quote=Anonymous]It is amazing how over-involved so many parents are. Don't you trust your kids to make the right decisions for themselves (especially since so many on this board seem to have very high achieving kids)? I helped each of my kids come up with a list of schools based on what attributes they wanted and where they could get in. We pay the equivalent of in-state tuition. If our kids want to go out of state or private, they have to pay the difference (with loans). My oldest did choose to go out of state. This helps them be invested in their own education and their own decisions. After all, they are adults. Are you going to choose their careers for them and then where they can live? At some point, they have to start making decisions for themselves. Nothing wrong with some guidance and direction, but I strongly feel ultimately it needs to be their choice. [/quote]
