Frankly, it should be illegal for a person or couple to have a child if they can't provide for the child right up to and including basic college education. And I mean HAVE as in to even CONCEIVE! That would mean NO foster care, NO orphanages, Fewer kids, etc.... Food would be cheaper, death rates would be lower, etc... Unfortunately, too many see that as a constitutional issue, and would SUE anyone attempting to pass such rules.
I would hate that rule. I want to have kids and so does my boyfriend. School was real hard for me and I struggled because the work was hard. So I didn't go to college. My boyfriend can't even go because he never finished high school due to being held back three times, so he got too old to go. He couldn't get his GED because the questions were too hard. He tried getting it on the internet but the pre test was too hard. I think he should try again though but college would be too hard for him because of his learning disabilities. He struggled in school too, more than me in fact, brain damage is part of the problem. Teachers had to teach him things over and over and over and over and over because things did not stick in his head as fast as the others kids. He didn't even start reading till he was 11 or 12 because that's how long it took them.
I was talking about PROVIDING for it. Of course, not everyone would go. I wasn't suggesting that. I'm sorry to hear about your boyfriend's problems... I wish you the best.
