It is the great equalizer, and today's parents see a bachelor's degree as the equivalent of yesterday's high school diploma. In other words, a veritable necessity.
Yet, higher education i is becoming increasingly unaffordable. There is a collegecost crisis of enormous proportions, and no one except perhaps beleaguered middle-class parents and a few alarmed academics seems to be taking up the cause. At the rate we're going, the framed diploma on the good amount of anxiety to your son (over-organizing his time is one way), and that this attachment is one way for him to provide some constancy. In case you're worrying that he will want to become a train engineer, studies have shown that only one of 10,000 toddlers who develop attachments to toy trains grow up to work on the railroad. My 9-year-old son is a child of divorce.
Dad is big into sports, and has him enrolled in at least one every season. Our son is having major problems in school, none of which are due to a lack of ability. When he doesn't "like" the assignment, COLLEGE, FROM 1E he refuses to do it. His behavior is becoming more of a problem. He is seeing the school counselor who tells me that he has lingering anxiety over the divorce, which I think is pure psychobabble.
I've decided to keep him out of participation in sports unless his grades for the week are good. His dad is furious with me. He feels that I shouldn't take sports away because they teach discipline and build self-esteem. What do you think? First, I agree with you that your son's school problems are not caused by "lingering anxiety over the divorce." Furthermore, by constructing office wall will become as much of a symbol of all-nighters as of a deep gulf between the haves and havenots. The crisis has been a long time in the making.
During the 1980s, tuition and fees rose three times as fast as median family income. Those increases have continued unabated. Since 1981, the cost of a public four-year program has increased by 202 percent, while the consumer price index rose only 80 percent. If those figures don't make you dizzy, consider this: Last year alone, average tuition went up 14 percent in public four-year colleges. The total cost for getting that sheepskin, when you factor in room and board? $10,636 a year or one-sixth of the total pre- THIS AiN'T FAINT THE OF HEART "DMX is the most.

He has not let go of it for a month.
It keeps him from doing things like throwing a ball, drawing and playing with other toys. If he drops it or can't find it in his crib at night, he is hysterical. Is it all right to let him have such an attachment? It is not unusual for toddlers to develop intense attachments to objects of one sort or another. Favorite blankets and the like that toddlers will not part with are called "transitional objects" and seem to provide some sense of security as the young child is becoming less dependent on his parents, his mother in particular. You obviously feel that your son's "obsession" may be a hindrance to his overall development.
Let me assure you that a 23-month-old who does not want to color or throw a ball for fear that his toy train will disappear is not at developmental risk. Parents do not have to orchestrate a schedule of "developmentally stimulating" activities for a child to develop appropriate skills on time. If one simply allows a toddler plenty of creative play time (unhindered by television watching), the child will see to his own development quite nicely.

Movietone.com this sort of psychological excuse, the counselor is unwittingly enabling your son's misbehavior and underachievement. As for keeping your son out of sports if he doesn't behave in class and do his work on a weekly basis, I think you're doing the right thing, which is nothing more than a variation on what I call "Grandma's Rule" when you do what you are supposed to do, then you can do what you want to do.
I agree with the father that sports are a good thing that they develop discipline, selfconfidence, etc. However, I also believe in first things first. tax income for the average middle-class family. Community colleges, which often provided a financial alternative, have hiked their prices, too. It would be easy to blame the struggling economy, but the truth is that tuition increases have come regardless of the economic times or state funding.
(Pell Grants for low-income students, for instance, used to cover 84 percent of costs at a public four-year school; now it's just 39 percent.) Fee hikes have also outpaced inflation year after year. According to a congressional study released last fall, Americans blame educational sticker shock on a lack of accountability and wasteful spending by college management. Whatever the causes, the results are irrefutable. Experts estimate that costs prevent 48 percent of college- Obviously, your son's education is more important than soccer, baseball or football. Your son hasn't developed the discipline he needs to participate in sports.
When he is ready to demonstrate that discipline, he can participate again. Don't expect Dad to agree, and I would bet that you won't be able to reason with him. Just stay the course and ignore his protests. John Rosemond is a family psychologist. Contact him at Affirmative Parenting, 1020 E.

By the end of this decade, more than 2 million students will be denied a postsecondary education. The overwhelming majority of those turned away will inevitably come from the middle class and the lower middle class, the group that once benefited most from post-secondary education.
And so, like a time machine that only spins backward, we will return to an unequal society deeply divided by class and educational attainment. Where opportunities are denied not so much because of the traditional bogeymen of race, religion or ethnicity but because of money. A country where college, the ultimate American Dream, serves only as a luxury item of the elite.
