That’s just so the kids could get scolarships and loans.
Um, no.
I have twin daughters who live at home and our family falls into the too-poor-to-pay-for-college, and to-rich-to-be-poor, yet not the right political flavor of the season to get funding just handed to them.
Parents telling their kids they have to pay for college themselves doesn't automatically 'get' anyone anything, but it will make the kids appreciate what they've earned.
