[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why it would be weird for a parent to sit in on a class. We're the prospective buyers, right? I ran labs in college, and I remember parents, including of enrolled kids, coming in to listen. That was at a SLAC.[/quote] I'm the PP who said it would be weird. DC's college guidance counselor emphasized to us over and over again that our kids have to take the lead. We are a part of the process but this is the point where we step back and let them run the show. They need to do this for several reasons: its an important skill for them to learn, they have to be happy with the school because they are going to be the ones living there for four years, and because the colleges do note if a child is letting their parents take over the process. We go on the tours with DC but he has gone to classes alone. Observing other parents in the process, they all seemed to be doing the same. I think a parent in a class would stand out.[/quote]
