I appreciate that perspective.
But isn’t it our job to raise our children to take care of themselves while minors, then send them out into the world? Paying their way thru college, seems to be simply prolonging the “raising the child” stage.
It also seems completely unfair to a child that wants to work out of High School. Would you pay that same child the same amount of money you would pay another child to go thru college?

It’s my privilege to be a father.

When my kids were young I considered the 2 most important things was to spend lots of time with them and to limit what they watched on TV.

When they got older helping them through college and professional school was my duty and privilege.

It’s a difficult world, insisting that they make it on their own means that some won’t make it and the ones that do may not be successful until their 40’s, 50’s or later. How does that help them.
