[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are not high achieving students, college tuition is so incredible high. If my kids were excellent students, involved in extracurriculars then, yes, I can see paying most of it, all if they go to a state university. Right now their cum can’t even get them in a state college.  DD has a glorified outlook she’ll go to an out of state, a not so “fancy” one says- they all cost $40k tuition nevermind lodging, foid, and transport. DH is the kind of guy that caves in…

They’re in a parochial, private high school that we are paying for with these lukewarm grades. I can’t afford more tutors.  How did you deliver the news to the kids that they have no choice? To your “princess?”

Those grades from a parochial private in Virginia will get them into the secondary publics —there are many great options to get a solid degree from these. What are they going to do otherwise? A trade? Kids from parochial and private often have no pre-trade training or interest. Community college is ok too but the outcomes are not the same as starting at a 4 yr , UNLESS they are highly motivated which you have implied yours are not. A smaller public with a 4 yr degree will help them. How can you pay for private HS and not pay for college(it sounds as though you can afford it, you do not want to). [/quote]
