To those parents who CAN afford tuition but who REFUSE to contribute a dime...

I noodled around whether to put our 3 kids through a similar ringer but in the end, decided to pay for their college education. They’re expected to work summers and have a pt job after soph year.

I think you made a sound decision. The cost of college has increased so drastically since we were students that a situation that was apparently a good learning experience for you might have been impossible for your kids.
