[quote=Anonymous]So, your daughter is stretching the truth with you. Clearly, though you don't want to see it.

1) There is no school, much less a top-25 school (including huge ones like Berkeley) that don't inform graduates that "walking" is not the same thing as "graduating," and that they will receive their diplomas after all of their grades are in and it is determined that they meet the criteria.

2) Your daughter is idiot enough to get a "D" in a class, but you think it's the university's fault she hasn't checked her transcript? Uh-huh. There is no way in hell she didn't know about the "D." In fact, I'd assume she thought it might be an "F," and was so relieved that it wasn't, she never bothered to check her transcript.

3) She had a departmental advisor at some point. She knew the rules, and was filling out a graduation checklist from the day she declared the major. It defies belief that she didn't know that you have to make a "C" in all classes required for your major.

4) Didn't the internship require a transcript?

5) Do you really, truly believe your daughter is the rare person who never checks her grades, or goes to find out about her diploma, or has any idea what the graduation requirements are? You, my friend, are being bamboozled by a young woman who knows your every button, and is playing you like a virtuoso on the accordion.[/quote]
