<p>Mom2collegekids, we told him last summer where he was, and what he’d been doing to himself by his work ethic, and I have to say that the maturity shift in him over the past 12 months has been extremely gratifying. He’s always been a great kid–now, hes much more focused, mature, and goal-oriented.</p>
<p>We’re not going to condition whether to pay more on whether he works hard for 6 months. We have told him that it makes no sense to pay a lot more for a “better” school if he’s not going to work hard in college, and he’s going to have a mediocre college record.</p>
<p>I’m really confident that he’ll do very well in whatever college he attends based on what I’ve seen over the past year.</p>
