I have read some of the discipline/spanking articles of late and found
them interesting, but they are remote from my concerns.  My daughters
are now 14 and 17 and I haven't spanked them in a very long time.  My
concern is paying for their college educations.

My folks paid for a portion of my education.  I got scholarships, took
out loans, worked part-time jobs and summers.  When I got married, as a
sophomore, they stopped paying and I was financially independent and
have been ever since.  Oh, I was poor a lot of the time, but I paid my
own way.

Now my eldest is going to go to Berkeley.  I support this, BUT

	*       while I am paying, I will retain the right to have
			some significant and effective input about what she
			does (NOT control, input).

	*       I expect her to make serious and persistent efforts
			to finance as much of this as she can.


Many of the net readers are students in college.  Perhaps, they have
some opinions about this.
