This sounds like a better question for the Parent’s forum, because it really isn’t a V Tech issue. I think if the parents are truly neutral about the funds, and I doubt that because who wants to pay more, then it should be up to the kid. Many kids would like to get a little farther away from home and have a chance to feel on their own. But many kis dismiss their own instate schools for trivial reasons, like ‘everyone goes there’.

I very much feel that the Parent can attend if they are so committed to a certain school. I think the student should have some autonomy in deciding what will suit them best. Unless it is a situation where the financials don’t make sense, or there is some drastic mistake in judgement being made (and no there isn’t as there aren’t radically different schools with radically different outcomes), why shouldn’t the student have their own choices and preferences? I personally can’t stand controlling people.
