Your son and your daughter needs an excellent father more than an excellent college.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's a hard process to navigate... to figure out where your kid ought to go to college.
It is one thing to take as a given that approximately 70 percent of an entering high school freshman class will not attend college, but to assign a particular child to a curriculum designed for that 70 percent closes off for that child the opportunity to attend college.
There's no question that my son is better prepared for college than I was. He manages his time better, is more efficient and more directed, and spends less time in lines and more time doing exactly what he sets out to do.
Message to all you crazed parents desperately hiring tutors and padding your kid's thin resume: Chillax. Attending an elite college is no guarantee of leadership, life success, or earnings potential.
Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.
Not only that - college doesn't particularly qualify you for the outside world. he world is changing so fast, and college is not. It should strive to be more in tune with the world.
It's a parent's dream come true to watch your sons play at the highest level of college basketball.
My undergraduate education, at the City College in New York, was made possible only by the existence of that excellent free institution and the financial sacrifices of my parents.
College is part of the American dream. It shouldn't be part of a financial nightmare for families.
I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I'm so stoked my life panned out how it was.
