On the one hand, we feel it is right to sacrifice deeply for our children, and on the other we have a nagging suspicion that there is a good reason no previous generation raised children this way. It doesn't take a sage, however, to know that children aren't designed to raise themselves. I pray that CBS has taken adequate precautions to protect the children involved.

The College gave away a total of about $99.7 million in financial aid awards last year, leaving a difference of about $102.3 million, a staggering sum to be sure, but a mere 0.3 percent of Harvard’s 34.9 billion endowment. Even looking at only growth from the endowment, the total cost of eliminating tuition would only be 1.8 percent of the 5.7 billion increase in the endowment in the most recent fiscal year. But even...
...Kids need parents, but they also need the freedom to learn and grow. Let them experience the sting of failure and the joy of success. And trust them!
