[QUOTE="Fester, post: 415830, member: 6300"] Or they don't try? Also know a number of kids that had a chunk of college paid for with academic scholarships..they focused 100% on school and had 3.6 GPA and higher and the colleges gave them atleast 50% off for academic...now if they would have worked instead of studying would the GPA been that high? Doubtful..but maybe. Again more then one way to look at it...just cause it may not have worked for you or your kids doesn't mean it's wrong. I won't judge...my kids worked through highschool but that's my choice and theirs, but I sure as hell am not gonna judge a kid that doesn't work...that's their path and it does NOT make it wrong because you or your family or your beliefs didn't go that route. And to say a VAST majority don't get scholarships is wrong also..most colleges offer some sort of scholarship, whether the student applies for it or qualifies is another thing.
