[quote=Anonymous]I mean, we don't tolerate D's and F's, but as long as they try their best, we're okay. I grew up with blue collar parents, so I understand that all jobs are important. I also understand that not going to college doesn't equal that the kid is a failure for life. I have a kid in college, a HS junior, a HS freshmen, and a 6th grader. As long as they all grow up to be self-sufficient, I'll consider them a success. I have more than two coworkers who have their adult kids living back with them because they can't make it on their own in this area. From talking with them, each of them had kids who were just 'okay' in school that they really had to push to go to college. Now they're thousands in debt, living with mom & dad, and employed at the same job that they could have had without college. But yes, by all means, it's more prestigious to say they have that college degree! [/quote]
