[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell there are a few single and/or childless and bitter 30, 40 and 50-somethings in this thread.[/quote]

You can tell there are a few people unfamiliar with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) in this thread.[/quote]

FERPA does not protect your snowflake from somebody calling and saying she is off the tracks. [/quote]

I'm confused are you advocating that schools be more forthcoming or arguing that parents need to perhaps do more due diligence in deciding what school they send their kids to?

I mean the [i]"I'm paying for it"[/i] argument is pretty prevalent here so I'm wondering why don't mommy and daddy pay for their kid to go to a school that's meets their communication criteria?  
Folks on here acting like somebody is MAKING their kid go to a school that is doesn't tell them when little Johnny is showing up to classes drunk.  
No, you have a choice mommy and daddy send Johnny to someplace that will alert you if he so much as fails to flush the toilet if that's what you need to get a peaceful nights sleep.  
After all...[i]"You're paying for it!"[/i][/quote]

[b]Because there is no school, small LAC or not, that is calling parents to inform that that their kid is screwing up[/b] in the typical ways 18-22 year olds let loose at college do. The small LACs are more likely to have a person who will ask the kid what's going on with them, and urge them to seek counseling or help from the student health center. But they will not call parents unless a student allows them to. Best you will get is a school employee urging your kid to call you.

I'm guessing OP is a troll, or just dropped Larla off at college where they gave parents the 'they are 18 and we can't talk to you' lecture as part of family orientation and didn't realize that's how it is now.[/quote]

Say that again for the folks in the back.[/quote]
