[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids who are 20 and 23. The 20 yr old just graduated.

We flat out told our kids their tuition would be paid and we'd support them through school with the understanding they'd keep us apprised of their grades, and get help if they were slipping (we'd pay for tutoring if they needed that and it wasn't free).

We dropped them off at school and other than that visited once a semester. I never spoke with any of their professors except when we ran into one at a restaurant. [/quote]

+1  Except we rarely visited every semester.  And I certainly am not going to make a donation to the university while I was still paying tuition.

College is a time for my kids to be on their own.  [/quote]

+2  No sooner had I paid last semester's tuition, than we got an "invitation" to donate to some school fund or other.  Uh... no.  Also, not involved in any parental committees, and didn't visit during the school year - DS came home instead, which was his preference.  He needed time at home to decompress.  I was very involved in his earlier schools, but college is definitely time for the kids to do their own thing.  [/quote]
