[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids go to college all the time without tutors and SAT prep. I'm not sure why you think this is an emergency. [/quote] 50 % drop out rate in the country. 90-plus % drop out rate for students from their background. Based on what I know, they are not currently on track to be prepared for college. At the end of the day, [b]we'd like to help our nephews achieve some social mobility. [/b]That begins with them becoming prepared for college. Further, them becoming prepared could open up merit awards, which helps them control their destiny. That's how I pitched the SAT prep and math tutor - I said it would help them qualify for merit aid.[/quote] I think we are beginning to see who the real snob here is. OP, "social mobility" is not a goal. A happy, productive life, OTOH, is certainly something to strive for. Do you really see no way for your nephews to achieve that unless they are fully prepared for a top college at age 18?[/quote]
