I hope she isn't quite that strict. Paying 100% only for total perfection seems a bit extreme. Not many students achieve a perfect GPA for all 4 years.

Speaking of 4 years, another good point is that you should make it clear to your kid that college is a 4-year endeavor. Not 5. Not 6. Not 8. I'll cover my daughter for 4 years of undergraduate school. If she decides to change her major 6 times and needs 5 or more years to earn a degree, she's going to have to foot the bill, or at least a much bigger piece of it.
