One reason you make money is to take care of your kids, and that includes providing them the opportunity to go to a good college. I have no problem with that. If I had the money my kids would have gone to Harvard, Yale, Duke, Emory, etc. They had the intellect. But it's not worth getting out of school and your student loan payment for a decade or more is more than a mortgage on a damn fine house.
you're right. That's what parents should do. The problem is the other side is whining about those who go to school on the gov't tit(grants/low-interest loans). It should be easier to go to school for people who don't have the money to pay for it and need assistance. But they look down on the guy who only went because his brain was so awesome he got a full academic scholarship.. or the guy who had to work thru school to pay what his pell grant and loan didn't pay.. and then say stupid things like "Borrow money from your parents for college, not the gov't"..because they want to reduce pell grants and get the gov't out of the student loan business..
It's 'voting against your best interest' in the extreme..
