[quote=Anonymous] I would approach the boys directly and let them know you'll support SAT prep and a summer program or tutor. They can couch it as a school offering. One of the top reasons young men in particular don't graduate from college is that they are under-prepared for that first year. They did well enough and managed to matriculate, but the disparity across high school curricula and rigor means that they struggle in 101 classes and need remedial courses to get on track. You're trying to address this proactively. That the parents are the obstacle must be pretty frustrating. Nevermind that you're willing and able to help cover tuition, if they're not prepared then it's all for naught. If you have a good relationship with the boys, work through them. And good on you for trying. These angry MYOB posters are nuts! They will be the very first to damn you for NOT intervening when the boys find they can't meet the demands and leave. It takes a village. Find a way.[/quote]
