[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people don't understand how email works with this younger generation and is making this situation out to be something it isn't.

Hell, when my DH was applying for jobs years ago and sending/receiving tons of emails, I helped him manage them. I am sure there were times he could have missed something if he hasn't had another pair of eyes on it. No executive functioning issues.

I think some parents are pissed that their kid if not headed to somewhere like UChicago, and they have regrets that they weren't more involved the last 4 years...maybe things would have worked out differently. Instead of owning up to those feelings, they attack parents who were on top of it. "We all agree this is CRAZY micromanaging and SO SAD that a kid can't get there without his MOMMY! Right, guys???" Please.[/quote]

My kid is at UChicago.  I promise you that lack of ability to check email and keep on top of his stuff is going to affect this kid next year unless he figures it out by then.  No this generation doesn’t use email like we did/do.  But all important notifications come in on email. All. They need to learn to manage or they will miss both opportunities and will court avoidable failures.  [/quote]
