Debbie Crave once assumed that all of her children would go to college. Then she had kids. Son Patrick is a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Debbieâ??s alma mater, and plans to one day help manage the familyâ??s 1,700-acre, 1,000-cow dairy farm here. Brian, 17, would rather sit atop a tractor than behind a desk. “Heâ??s been afraid we might push him” to go to college, his mother says. But her eyes have been opened: “Kids learn differently, and some just arenâ??t college material.”
