That's what I was talking about - giving the benefit of the doubt. I took offense where none was intended, that's why I went back and changed my post.

I found it offensive becuase it was such a concrete statement. You didn't say that you saw no point in your child going to college early, you saw no point in any child going to college early. As you don't know my son and our circumstances, that came across as judgmental of my family's decision.

If I posted that anyone who doesn't allow their child to go to college early are denying them of an appropriate education then I would probably offend you since you have apparently made other choices.

And that's why I don't often find this board judgmental. Most posters here are careful to coach their replies in terms of their own child.
