Re: Blog Question

Tonight's blog Question is:
Do you believe that a parent should pay for a child's post-secondary education. Does paying for the education made the student more or less likely to finish school? Should a student work during their post-secondary education. Is there anything good about working while you are going to school? Tell me what you think?

I believe that if all a child wants to do in life is schooling then of course. If that is the child's main goal then the parents should finance it. But if a child has other plans then it should be up to the child to come up with at least half of the money because they may not be as focused in school. I think that it would help a great deal if a parent payed for their child's education. It would encourage the child to finish the school because it isn't their money and they have to use it in the correct way. As I said above if a child is working at the same time this can take away from the education so if they are working that money should go towards the schooling. Although if they don't work then they can be fully focused on school. One good thing about working while going to school would be that you could help pay for your education.
