It's odd....Some of it is, some of it isn't. It's odd... a lot of the parents REALLY want their kids to go to college, hence they are at this school. They want this because they want the kids to have a better life than they have had. The parents, however, sort of think that just because it is a college prep school, the kids are automatically going to go to college and do well. They don't see that getting Ds at a college prep school isn't going to get their kid to college, and they don't push the work ethic, because they don't realize what really needs to get done. The kids, on the other hand, see mom and dad and think- that's fine, I am happy with that life, so they don't necessarily make college a priority either. If mom can survive cleaning people's houses, so can they, is the mentality I guess.Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16886707305264205564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695232237196914564.post-4040022397696415442010-04-26T21:55:44.449-07:002010-04-26T21:55:44.449-07:00I wonder if some of it is attitude from the parent...I wonder if some of it is attitude from the parents? You know a lack of support to go to college. My step-brother wasn't supported in his decision to go to college at all by either my step-dad (because he was moving so far away) and his mother just didn't want to pay for it. It was kind of sad.PamalaLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357664965020460429noreply@blogger.com
