... student loans sounds harsh.. but.. knowing they have something at stake.. well.. might motivate them not to... slack off.

I swear, out of all the people i know who dropped out, I swear 90% of them were 'mommy and daddy paid for 100% of my schooling, this is great, its like a vacation'...



My $0.02 on oberlin... nice school... but... FFS, its in the middle of Lorain County Ohio..

what? havnt heard of it? well.. lets see... i think theres some cows..

hrm.. a bit too far west for the amish in ohio.. but.. um... maybe a gas station..


um.. very flat...

see where I'm going with this?
I addressed this. I didn't slack off because my mom and dad paid for all our schooling; that's wasting money and my mother's favorite saying is never throw good money after bad. They ingrained the value of education in us when we were VERY young.

And most great schools are in weird areas. My uncle went to Grinnell College and that's in Bumf*ck, Iowa. But it's a fantastic school that I actually was going to go to until I changed my mind about my major.

YOU can make your kids take out loans to pay for their school. MY kids never will. I will pay for their education until they say they are done with being educated. Simple as that. They will not start life off in debt.

What's at stake for them is my love, approval and respect. I own you. Don't defy me.
