<p>i want to add another point, if i may. teaching is a two way street. students have to be willing to have their ‘eyes opened’ in order for the transaction to be complete. parents should continually encourage ethics of hard work, open minds, and willingness to take risks (and maybe fail) in the classroom. no matter where one ends up at school, it they are willing to listen, work, and explore, they will get something out of their college years.</p>
