[quote=Anonymous]I personally think this decision needs to be made by both child and parent. At 18 most kids lack the maturity that goes along with making a hefty decision. I am also from the school of though that if I am footing the 50k bill then by all means, I have some say in the matter. You do not need to agree but I do think OP has some merit to her concerns. While the kid in question should not be forced to attend a school that he has no interest in, every possibly opportunity to show him why that might be a better choice (if there are legitimate reasons the parents feel this way) should be employed before a decision is made. I "coaxed" my D to attend a school though she was leaning towards another, and she thanks me all the time for helping sway her though she did not see it at first. At almost 20 she thinks very differently than she did at 17.[/quote]
