[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the GPA drops below a 3.0 for one semester, I’m not paying for the next one.

It worked for me.[/quote]

You sound like someone who doesn’t have children. [/quote]

Why would anyone pay for their kid to get below a 3.0 cumulative GPA?

A 3.0 is really, really easy to get if you show up for class.  It is a really low standard to request in exchange for $300,000 +/- of tuition money and living expenses.[/quote]

The better question is why would anyone pay $300k for college?  I'd only pay that for a top 5 school -- maybe not even then -- and if my kid got into one of those I wouldn't be real concerned that they wouldn't take college seriously.

My kid went to a solid state school, and I'm sure (but never asked) that they had below a 3.0.  I happily paid.  What difference does it make if it's a 2.5 or a 3.0?  In the long run, ZERO.  What's to be gained by forcing your kid to drop out of school before they graduate?

You people are silly AF [/quote]
