[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are students better prepared for college now than 10-15 years ago?[/quote] No, nor do they have the same emotional maturity as students who attended even 10 years ago. Students, even freshmen, entering 10 years ago acted and presented themselves, for the most part, as adults. Now, it is not at all uncommon to get a phone call or email from a parent of a student. Instead of dealing with issues on their own, they quickly reach out to their parents for assistance. I now always have an 'out of office' message on my email that says I'll respond in 24 hours and have a little message about not being able to disclose student information to parents. That's how many parent emails I receive through the week. I've even had parents get mad at me and contact the dean of my department, who always sides with professors. [/quote]
