[quote=Anonymous]OP - your antagonistic view of college students is clearly on display here and may be the reason why you hold your own children back. Your over simplification and generalization about students is telling about your state of mind. Are you really going to say that in the (supposed) years that you have taught that you've only met spoiled, rich kids who only go back to live at home after graduation and not get a job? There is a definite uptick in the number of kids having trouble getting a job and moving home with their parents, but it's not all students and to say so is disingenuous at best.

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt until you said your parents bankrolled you all the way through your doctorate. What kind of person gets their own life handed to them on a platter and then doesn't offer at least a helping hand in securing funds, scholarships, etc for college?

I know people who insisted that their kids pay for college and I do believe it is a family's decision/choice. However, the people I know who did it also helped their kids understand the process of securing loans and/or scholarships. In fact, one family helped them in every way possible to have great extra-curriculars and incredible grades. It was unbelievably hard work for the whole family, but the kids both got full-ride scholarships to great schools.

In other words, these families set their kids up for success. The family worked together to help the KIDS (because that is what they are…) get to the place they needed to be.

And OP - you're hurt by these responses because they are hitting a nerve. Your posts are full of bravado and hubris, but behind them is an insecure and selfish brat who took from her own mommy and daddy yet won't help the kids she brought into this world. You're pathetic.[/quote]
