Attention: Parents of College Bound Students

My friend, Dave Schecter, CNN Senior National Editor, forwarded me his post from Anderson Cooper 360.

Dave wanted to enlighten my husband and I as we deliver 17-yr-old daughter on Thursday morning to St. Michael's College in Colchester, VT.

What ideas do you have on how to instill the importance of studing in our kids. I would hope their desire to earn a good wage a motivating factor, but perhaps I'm naive. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

'Students appear to be studying less in order to have more leisure time,' a report by a conservative think tank observes.
Warning to parents of college students: what follows may be disturbing and cause you to clutch your wallet.

As the parent of a daughter whose college semester began today my attention was drawn to research that found students today crack the books about 14 hours a week, down from 24 in the early 1960s.
