I am / was putting a college / career/ life class together for the kids at a home school group. We don't have that in our area. Most kids just get their GED and work. I'm fine with that but to often I hear college is not for him or her or they can't afford it. They don't even try the sat/act which with a decent score can give you a full tuition scholarship to any state school. If they do go to school usually it's a for profit Christian school with massive loans and no scholarships. So college is like a bad word in this community. I want to change that.

My husband told me last night that the community doesn't care. Spending money on financial help books, Sat/act books and doing college planning are going to fall on deaf ears and not to do it. I hate the financial aid people because they're loans, loans, loans. They barely talk about grants, scholarships and work study. The academic advisorsuccess are worse, usually pointing you to the wrong class or just generally confusing you. I really would like to help but my husband thinks all I'll do is frustrate myself.
