[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  I'm asuming money is not an issue.  If it is, ignore my post.

We have kid that is not putting in the work necessary in HS.  I suspect he will end up with a lower overall GPA.  Anything that comes to him naturally, he gets As (Math, music).

We were thinking of sending him (when the time comes, in a couple of years) to a small LAC so there's someone to make sure he gets his work done as opposed to a CC where no one is going to care.  Did you consider that?[/quote]

Hi, I’m OP. Money is consideration only in that what we save we can spent on grad school if he chooses that route. And honest question: [b]who at a LAC is going to make sure he gets his work done? Do professors chase down missing work? Is that something a counselor does?[/b] [/quote]

Unfortunately, I can't answer these questions.  However, that seems to be the gist of several SLAC promoting posts that I've read over the years.  DC1 is going to an OOS state flagship starting next year.  We didn't think about grad school since she will be pursing a STEM degree.  Grad school, if and when it happens, is on her (or us depending, on our financial big picture at that time).  We are worried about DC2 as I explained above.  He just doesn't care.  Not sure how to get him to.   I have no issues with his ability to get a great score on his SAT.  It's the GPA, I'm worried about.[/quote]
