<p>This is very easy to answer! Yes, it is worth it. </p>
<p>First of all your child will do what he wants to do. You cannot force him to do his homework, study, etc. Second, all that prep work they do will make college EASIER! </p>
<p>Let me explain. My son had friends that blew off high school and literally didn’t care. All 5 of them went to state schools and guess what - they ALL DROPPED OUT within the first year! Why? Because they didn’t know how to study and were behind the learning curve. It was a huge eye opener and very sad if you ask me. They are all trying to get a job at Applebees and they can’t because of the bad economy. Have you seen the drop out rate in this country? I heard it is around 50%.</p>
<p>So definitely be proud your son cares to push himself and wants to excel. That is a trait that not all kids have. I have been told repeatedly my son is a rare exception that he is doing so well at school. That’s crazy if you ask me!!!</p>
