I'm one step ahead of you, buddy. I chose a diet drink because it lacks "massive amounts of sugar".

You do not really have to pay all your costs of the degree up front the first year in [Indiana] do you?
No, but a part-time minimum-wage job isn't always enough for tuition, fees, textbooks, room, and board either.
Finding work that pays enough to save and live off of might be difficult so living at home during those years might be a necessity.
So you propose to eliminate the "room" and part of the "board" (meals). But this would require the parents to move within bus range of college.
the state appears to give the principal of the child's high school absolute power to veto a work permit
the school can also over ride the work permit
I think that's what I was referring to.
If your parents put the equivilent of $10 a week (40 a month) back and earned just 3% interest over 18 years
When I discovered that JPMorgan Chase was paying 0.01% on savings accounts and 0.35% on a 5-year certificate of deposit, I looked into other banks. As of right now, for example, Ally is paying 1.50% for a 5-year CD. Where are you finding this 3%?
I worked at after-school jobs when I was fifteen, I never had to get permission from my school.
That depends on what state you lived in. Some states, such as my native Indiana, require the school to issue a work permit for any employee under 18 who hasn't graduated from high school.
What point are you actually trying to make with the 'planning sex' comment?
Planning for a birth soon after the school cutoff date ensures that the child will be 18 for most of his or her senior year.
a free Apple developer account wasn't enough to view the Guidelines.
Well, you could sign into apple's developer website with your free account and read the latest ones.
I did that. It didn't work.
Five minutes ago, I visited the Guidelines index, clicked the link "App Store Review Guidelines", was prompted to log in with my Apple ID, and was redirected to the unauthorized page: "Sorry, you cannot access this page."
Not having insurance is a choice.
Not for people who applied for a few dozen jobs offering health insurance, were turned down by all, and faced the Hobson's choice of a job with no health insurance or no job. Or to put it another way, having insurance but no home is also a choice.
one working themselves when they are of age
I don't see how that would help much. A lot of students have their birthday late in the school year, which means they're applying for college before they turn 18. I looked into child labor law in Indiana, and the state appears to give the principal of the child's high school absolute power to veto a work permit. Or do you mean that parents should plan their sex based on the state's kindergarten cutoff so that their kids turn 18 earlier in the school year?
by drinking water instead of three sodas a day
I have a mental disability whose treatment requires stimulant medication. I went on Diet Mtn Dew (caffeine) at $1 per day to get off Strattera (atomoxetine) at $4 per day plus the cost of regular doctor visits to renew the prescription.
they can easily afford in-state tuition at a good university.
But would that cover textbooks, room and board, and the like? If you mean that the kids should go to school in town and live with parents, that would require the parents to spend even more to move within public transit range of the school.
Or do they just mean "screen based computing device with flashy colors/sounds"?
Yes. Any electronic device bigger than a typical wristwatch and not specifically approved for a class or mentioned in a student's IEP was banned as disruptive to the classroom and subject to confiscation. I used iOS and Android devices as familiar examples of devices that clearly fall within the ban. To be more concrete: It was a lot more acceptable to whip out a TI-83 and play Drug Wars after completing one's assignment than it would be to whip out an iPod touch.
AIDE allows for programming directly on an Android tablet

That's what I was talking about.
provided that the Android 4.3 update didn't disable your keyboard
It's not even hard.
It's hard when the user can't touch-type code because an update to the device's operating system has caused it to misdetect the user's Bluetooth keyboard as a "nonalphabetic keyboard" (that is, a gamepad). Android 4.3 does this for all keyboards that use a specific Broadcom chipset, such as the ZAGGkeys Flex, and the device's owner can't fix it without wiping the device to root it.
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.
