Yes, he wants her to go to college here and (supposedly) he’s gonna pay for it, since he’s never paid for anything else.
Oh, and about the cost, you’re absolutely right.
The best colleges are actually free in Brazil. My siblings and I each have at least two bachelor degrees (though mine are from private universities).
While we were in Brazil my daughter only attended good private schools, she has received quality Education. It wouldn’t be hard for her to get into college there.
It’s only too bad because High School is only 3 years there, so all of her friends are already in College and she’d be two years behind them by the time she finished HS here…
