In my hometown, a friend of my parent's is the same way with their kids.
They don't want their kids to move away after graduating HIGH SCHOOL.... so that leaves them with the only choice of going to the local 2-yr school and trying to do something after that.
In my opinion that's messed up. If your kids have what it takes to conquer a 4-yr school, why hold them back? One of their daughters is so amazingly smart, but her parents won't let her to go the school she wants.
One of their son's GOT MARRIED right out of high school just so he could get out of the house and go to Baylor with his new bride.
His mom wore black to the wedding.
So far all of my siblings have graduated high school and moved to completely different cities to pursue college and jobs afterwards. That family is like "how can you dump your kids in a city they've never been in???" Uhhh it's part of letting go to let them do what's best for their own life.
