I read with great interest all that is written. My kids are small, preschool level, still Montessori and will continue for few years of elementary school for now. I am immigrant in US and still can't figure out everything about how things work. From what I could understand, it is almost that your pick of elementary school selects you for high school which in turn greatly determines university. On the other hand, depending on their interests, I don't think it is a must to go to university, both my wife and me have Master level degrees, yet, we spent a lot of time getting them. If you want to be a doctor or a lawyer (shudder) you need to get university degree, but not if you want to be a programmer like me. I kind of love my work and would love my kids to follow my footsteps, but you never know what they might choose. Please feel free to give me any hints and advice because I need a lot of those. What are your experiences and what would you do if you were in my place. I did start college fund for them, as I understand this will not be wasted even if they don't go to collage.
