I've got an honest question for parents that I would love to have answers in the comments... hopefully it even creates a back and forth in the comments, a discussion. We will see...
Ok, Here's the question...
If your child graduated high school and chose not to go directly to college because they didn't know what they wanted to study, how would you feel, would you be disappointed?
I need to set some ground rules, because I want it to be specific.
1. I specifically mean they chose to not attend college. Not they couldn't get in, money prohibited it, they got strung out on video games and forgot to show up, for this question and your response... your child made a choice not to attend college.
2. For the sake of this particular discussion, assume their reason actually is "they don't know what they want to study." Don't put in the comments "my kid would never do that" or "I never thought about it cause that doesn't sound like my kid" -- for the sake of this post, assume they did.
3. I have an answer of my own, but I want to see what folks say, I want to
see if it reaffirms my thought or changes it, I wanna learn from your
responses.
4. Please, on this post, put your responses in the comments here on the blog,
not on Facebook or Twitter or Google Plus... I think it will make a
cool back and forth... please?
5. No other rules... cut loose in the comments.
I would really love a ton of conversation on this one, I don't ever ask for this, but if you don't mind share this one on FB or Twitter or Google Plus or email the link. Please?
