"Rebecca Floyd" wrote in message m... Hey Jerk ... a college education is a right! If you don't believe this then I would feel very sorry for your children. You brought those children into this world ... you should give them every opportunity to have the most successful life they can possibly have. That includes giving them a college education. Access to a college education is a right. Having a college education gift wrapped and laid at your feet is not. There are scholarships, loans, and jobs available, si it isn't like anyone does not have access to a college education. I do not see why that is even in question. For your information, as long as it is a Settlement Agreement, forcing a parent to provide a college education is possible. If forcing parents to pay for college for their children were done across the board, and every parent had the same requirement, that might be considered fair. Or, if we are only looking at divorced parents, both parents were ordered to pay into a college fund each month from the date of divorce--and the payments were garnished from their paychecks, then it might be almost ok. But when only the NCP is forced to pay, then it is NOT ok. And that is what the complaints are about. "P.Fritz" wrote in message ... "LouKing" wrote in message lkaboutparenting.com...

Didn't realize my parents owed me that money. Cool. Maybe I should have them secure my rights to the money for student loans with a life insurance policy. They are in their 70s now. ==== ==== |

Access to a college education is a right. Having a college education gift wrapped and laid at your feet is not. There are scholarships, loans, and jobs available, si it isn't like anyone does not have access to a college education. I do not see why that is even in question. I believe going to college is an opportunity, not a right. If it were a right, everyone would get a college degree. Here are a few statisitics from several sources that breakdown college education facts. 86.5% of high school students complete high school. (National Center for Education) 62% of high school completers enroll in college. (National Center for Education) 59% of college enrollers graduate in 6 years. (NCAA Div-1 All-Student Graduation Rate) 31.6% of high school students complete a 4 year degree. (I did the math) Out of 1,000 HS students 865 graduate, 536 enter college, and 316 graduate within 6 years. For your information, as long as it is a Settlement Agreement, forcing a parent to provide a college education is possible. If forcing parents to pay for college for their children were done across the board, and every parent had the same requirement, that might be considered fair. Or, if we are only looking at divorced parents, both parents were ordered to pay into a college fund each month from the date of divorce--and the payments were garnished from their paychecks, then it might be almost ok. But when only the NCP is forced to pay, then it is NOT ok. And that is what the complaints are about. At the risk of being too esoteric, the complaint I have goes beyond only the NCP being required to pay CS to an adult child attending school. The student is hurt in multiple ways by the current system. Because CS drives up the out-of-pocket cost of education (the EFC) the student needs to take out higher student loans. If the CP uses the CS for care and maintenance, rather than tuition, the student must take out higher student loans. If the CP doesn't pass the education tax credits on to the student, the student must take out higher student loans. If the CP refuses to take out a Parent Loan, the student must take out higher student loans. The Appeals Court in my state has clearly defined that CS for pre-18 children is for care and maintenance. And Post-18 CS is defined as advancing the state's interest in an educated populace. The problem I found seen is CP's don't understand that distinction and the student gets hurt in the long run for all the reasons I listed above. |
