[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH said that not all kids should go to college. I said, "yes, that's true. Will you be telling our kids to not go to college? " He said, "no". Who on here is going to be the first to tell their kids to not bother with college?[/quote] We would, if our kids wanted to do the trades, or really were not academically inclined/interested in pursuing more education. But one kid was 83% for SAT and is out of college and doing well (with no plans for more education---not their strongpoint, they like working better). The other was 99% for SAT and 3.95UW gpa---wants to be an engineer, so that requires college. Neither would have done well in the trades. But If I had a kid that struggled to get B/Cs in HS in regular classes and hated school, I would help them find a trade/something that might interest them and encourage them to try that. [/quote]
