True… :)

However, even if he doesn’t believe you, if you put the “pocket money” rule into effect long before college starts, then that will help with credibility in that area.

As for the GPA…have a cheap decent backup school as the option if grades fall (be reasonable when setting the GPA criteria). Let your child know that you seriously have NO PROBLEM with having him go to Cheap Decent U.

Unless you’ve already convinced your child that you’re a “academic prestige hound,” he’ll believe you.
