We plan on paying fully for his college out of pocket and maybe a scholarship...

    Hi - I have been lurking for a while and reading old posts, but have never posted myself. My story: my son is a junior in high school and prior to this year had been struggling in school (despite many tutors we hired) plus he had a major attitude problem at home. To make a long story short...
