Yes Yes I know all about your anti education tirades. So you don’t believe in education. I find that astounding but you have drank the Koolaid. I just pray to God that you don’t have children. It is so sad when children are not given a proper direction. My Mother and Father both had parents who did not think a college education was important. My Mother’s parents had eight children and only My Mother graduated High School and she eventually received an Associates Degree. The other seven children made nothing of themselves. My father’s parents had three children. My father and Uncle joined the Air Force and luckily the military cared about education and they used their GI Bill. Hopefully your kids will find someone who prioritizes education since you don’t. God Bless you children!!!!!

Anti-education tirade? I have five children with a sixth on the way. I value education very much. So much, actually, that we homeschool our children. We use an online program, www.classicalliberalarts.com ,in case you are truly interested. If my kids want to go to college, they can go to college. If my kids want to start their own business and can succeed without going to college then so be it! I am not stuck on this myth of yours that you a person is nothing without an education. If my girls just want to be wives and mothers and find a suitable husband then why should they go to college? To get a job so they can work to buy material things and send their kids to daycare for someone else to raise? I am open to whatever my kids are interested in. But a college education is not the only determining factor to having a happy life.

Are your parents, aunts and uncles unhappy? By whose standards did they not “make something of themselves”? Was their house not big enough? Their car not new enough? What? How are you making this determination?

What a demented rant!

Samiam1972 is probably among the most dedicated mothers on FR.

As far as your desire that she not have children, she is basically pregnant half the time and homeschools all of them. Also, FR is a PRO-LIFE FORUM, why are you hoping that someone not have children?

If you think college is the most important thing for a person, that's great. For a lot of people it is, for a lot it isn't. I know plenty of people who are very successful by any standard and not all of them went to college. I can also tell you that the successful people I know who didn't go to college are often happier than those who did.

It is the left that has been pushing the idea that college is imperative and somehow a right. Our nation was built and prospered for nearly two centuries during a time when very few people went to college. I can assure you that nothing I learned in college is necessary for my job and I make plenty of money; in fact, other than with certain scientific careers, very few people make use of what they learned in college in their jobs.
