[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine what the guys from the Greatest Generation would think of todays helicoptering parents.  The 18 year
olds from the Greatest Generation went off to fight World War II.  I have to think these brave men would think the parents
of today very soft.

I'm thankful my parents raised me and my siblings to function
on our own.[/quote]

Hello dumbass... soldiers in WW2 were on average 26 years old.

you're thinking of Vietnam... and we know how well that went. [/quote]

My parents are children of the greatest generation. When they went to college in the mid 60s the women's dorms had visitation hours, no men allowed after certain time, dorm matrons who looked after the female students. And yes, parents would have been called if something went wrong. [/quote]

FFS. Do you really want to go back to the 1960s? Despite those rules and "safeguards," plenty of stuents drank, smoked, had sex, got pregnant and married before graduating. The were secretive and parents weren't generally called.

Women also couldn't get a credit card in their name, could be fired for getting pregnant, couldn't serve on a jury and more.

If you want to send your kdis to a school that will tell you whatever you want to know -- HIllsdale's your place.[/quote]
