[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A legal adult should be treated like one, not like a middle schooler. If the grades are great, wouldn't your DC likely share the news? [b]If they aren't, what are you going to do about it? [/b]Yelling at them, reminding them that they'll lose their aid or threatening not to pay tuition isn't likely to help them do better. [/quote] There would be no yelling, but there is a hefty merit scholarship at stake. We ask that they reach out and let us know what is happening, and what they intend to do about it. Student knows that we, his parents, will not make up the difference in tuition if he loses the scholarship. He would be required to borrow the difference on his own, or try to transfer to a less expensive college. If there were some very serious, extenuating circumstance (serious illness, but for most of those, a student can negotiate an incomplete or withdrawal) we might bail them out. But the kid doesn't know that. [/quote]
