[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 421587, member: 3306"] Depends on the student. Like I have said many times before, there are 18 year olds who are mature enough to go to war, start families, work "real" job, and be a fully functional member of society. Then there are kids like my son, step-kids and most of their friends. Not mature enough to do flip. They are smart, don't get me wrong, but I think we have allowed our kids to be "kids" until they are at least 21 these days. My step-daughter is [i]still[/i] going to school and she's 27! That's excessive, if you ask me, for what she's done with her life, but we have allowed her to continue to seek the shelter of being a "student" and that label prevents her from taking her full place in society. I don't see that changing. I was married, had a son, a house, a job, a mortgage by the time I was her age. I had those things when I was 23. Kids today are too sheltered, and I am no better than anyone else. Guilty as charged. [/QUOTE]
