<p>Absolutely. Also, around here, playing time with friends IS ECs. </p>
<p>But, after youngest had a career ending injury in her sport in the spring of her junior year, we did say she either had to get a job or find a new EC. She got a job.</p>
<p>It wasn’t “about” college, just about being busy being a productive member of society.</p>
<p>But I am also “making” her go to college instead of more job oriented training. (To be honest, she is “making” me “make” her. Since she really wants to go, but likes to say that to people.) Does that make me a tigerparent?</p>
<p>I doubt it would matter to me if it did. I’ve certainly heard all sorts of reasons NOT to send her to college, and I haven’t given a fig about even one of them.</p>
