I can't help but laugh at one of the given sentences. Read over the sentence that says "<em>Your audience consists of 9th grade parents." </em> That means that if the parents are in Grade 10, they can't attend the meeting.
That, of course, is not what you want to hear.
You should be aiming your speech at parents who have children in Grade Nine. You might want to focus on things that they should be preparing for in advance.
What is the student planing on taking and is that a realistic objective. He or she should not be planning to spend 7 years in college for a medical degree if he or she only has a C+ average. Suppose we are, however, talking about a very gifted student. A parent should be planning to put aside 100000 dollars -- maybe more. The parent has at most 4 years to complete the task. That's a worry.
You should be talking to them about how determined the child is. A bright student with an average report card is something to look into. Is the student mature enough to go to college or are they going to do nothing but party.
You should be talking considering the other children in the family if there are any. Planning for a doctor is going to eat up most family's resources. Is it a fair choice for the rest of the family?
You should be talking about the choice in schools. It matters (in the United States) from which college a person graduates. That's some of the topics.
