I always heard that saying as "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day,
teach him to fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day"
Doesn't this fall under the old "Give someone a fish and they'll eat for a day,
TEACH someone to fish and they'll eat for life".

RE: Hate to see her go, but!
Thanks for all the comments. Looks like one of the two will get a full ride scholarship and the other a partial. They just need to get their paperwork in now. I'm going to keep my boot at their backside until it's all in.
I've always made my kids work for what they want. They wanted cars, they worked and saved money for them and enough to pay a years worth of insurance. It's never been a free ride. I just want them to get a good education and not have to worry about how to pay the bills.
