Kids, kids, kids...Dave is seeing the humor in the situation; making light of it; putting the situation in the context of his school experience as compared to his daughter's. He is being FUNNY. Don't over analyze...and if you find yourself doing so, just think about burping the theme of Gilligan's Island...

I've read Dave Barry's book. They are really fuuny. I understand he is seeing the humor of it. All I am pointing out is, I never thought of college until high school. My parents never worried about it until high school. Yes, they do take what high school you go to. When I graduated high school, like 90 percent went to college.
