On the flip side there are plenty of examples of kids being pushed into higher education who would have been much better off going to a trade school.
Working as a plumber, an electrician, or a carpenter can be quite lucrative, and they are certainly things that society needs.
Being pushed into higher ed is so much different than having an internal drive to do it. I'm glad that she's doing well and hopefully they can resolve their differences.
I have a number of friends who are teachers, and part of their job is to call the parents if the student is failing, falling behind, or not doing their work. The vast majority of the time the response on the other end of the line is "that's their problem, not mine." If the parents don't care, the students don't care, and life goes on as it always has for them.
