[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone urging her to pull her out over one failed class? My god. If she is depressed, dropping out of college isn't going to help that. At least give her another semester to get her self together.

First, what is the class? Is it a science or math class or Ancient Greek or something that may be pretty hard? I knew bright good students who came close to failing science classes (though they had the foresight to withdraw). How are the rest of her grades?

If she failed some easy English class and the rest of her grades are c's, that's a problem. If she got a's and b's and failed some premed chem class, well that's a different story.

Get her to a psychologist, as a psych may just put her on drugs and push her out the door in fifteen minutes. Does she seem to have made friends? If not, Encourage her to take the minimum course load and spend some time joining extra curriculars etc.[/quote]

OP also has a thread going in another section so its difficult to parse out what she posted where, but her DD had a crisis (not specified) at school last year so this sounds like a lot more than "one failed class."  There's something going on.[/quote]
