If my children decide to go to college, will they be prepared?

We have found that children who are encouraged to pursue their talents and interests and to make their own decisions about careers and goals, will do what they need to do when they need to do it.

 

But will they get into the college of their choice, you ask?

 

Well, that depends. For example, those who are home schooling will find that there are some colleges that will not accept home schooled students. Our answer to that is, so what? There are thousands of colleges across the country! Chances are, if a college doesn't want you, for whatever reason, then you don't want to go there--it wouldn't be a good fit anyway!

 

The best thing is to seek out the college that best fits the particular student. We need to teach our children to find what works best for them, instead of agonizing over what they "should" be doing, and trying to fit the mold of what "everyone" else is doing.
