[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, you should drop the helicopter. Second, consider that Larla is not completely blameless. [b]The grades are not allowed to be arbitrary.[/b] [/quote] Yes, we all know that. The issue, if you care to think and learn, is that there isn't a way to prove that a grade is arbitrary when it's assigned to something like a paper or project. So much of grading is the professor's subjective response to how well the student has fulfilled their expectations, which are also subjective. Also, a college student reaching out to a parent is showing problem solving skills. The parent has life experience and knowledge that may be helpful, and sharing that is not being a helicopter. You seem very concrete. Open your mind a little.[/quote]
