+1 #1 boy went out of state and expended much capital, then dropped out due to an inability to play the university game. He is now taking classes at a local venue. Bright kid, but not street savvy enough to survive in a high pressure venue yet.
My opinion is that kids will be much better served by taking a year off to grow up and see the wide world. No sure kidlet is of an age where she can be let loose. Having an opportunity to allow the brain to catch up to the body and desires is gooder. We used to ship boys off to the Army to gain maturity. They came back much better able to put forth the effort college requires. clay On May 29, 2014, at 7:24 PM, Dan Penoff wrote: > Give her my congratulations, Gary. > > As for college, look closely at the community college offerings in your area. > Florida has one of the best community college systems in the nation.
