The “drag” has nothing to do with education. The drag has to do with inherent laziness.
A lazy intellectual or shiftless kid is going to be a drag even with a gradate degree or a corporate title.
While money is an issue, it should not be a weapon used to force a kid who has no clue along a path he doesn’t want to travel.
I reccomend “McDonalds as School” program. Go to work for a year at McDonalds and study the business from cleaning floors, selling up front, making fries, to ordering and managing inventory to running the place.
A McDonalds is American business in microcosm and is all facets of a large manufacturing company including sales and production in one compact location.
A year earning and learning at one of the best corporations in America can provide some solid basis for going forward.
Since I never go to McDonald’s I don’t exactly know of what you speak...but I get your point.
You’re not too far from me on this. We’re both saying don’t do what 80% of parents do or are at least willing to do, which is to finance their Socialist ‘education’ of their kids. You’re a bit tougher than myself, but we’re still pretty close!
