- When looking for a school for your kid, Scott believes you should look for institutions where your child will thrive.

- Kary explains why he feels not all kids should go to college - especially if they're interested in the trades or more technical career paths.
- According to Chad, obtaining current knowledge from the internet will be much more valuable than sitting in a classroom and memorizing facts from an old textbook.
