What accomplishments should everyone have by the time they are 21?
For instance, get a job, graduate high school, etc.

Hopefully, the person has some idea of what they would like to do - and have a clear idea of their likes and dislikes. Also at 21 it would be prudent for the person to be starting to think independently and want to be close to family but out on their own, making their own way.
But again, everyone moves forward at their own pace.

A word to the wise: kids are kids. They are not adults, and they should not make decisions about their education and schooling. That's why they have parents and teachers to watch over them, guide them, and sometimes give them a little push in the right direction. Be the adult in your relationship...

There should be more stringent standards in high school for college and/or university admission. Too many students attending colleges and/or universities in the United States are clearly unqualified to attend such institutions. A noted educator was emphatic in his premise that only...
