[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those being critical of the OP, I'm genuinely curious to hear your thoughts on a specific (and all-too-common) example provided by OP:

I routinely get emails like this:
"Yo, whats on the test and do I need to read the textbook please let me know right away."

If you found out that your child sent this email, what would be your explanation? Or do you think this is appropriate?

How, in your opinion, should a professor respond to this question?

Professor Yo: Maybe respond with reference to the syllabus ?[/quote]

The professor said how they respond to all these things--which is fairly patient, but OP is just giving a heads up to parents about how their child may be acting away from home.  Do you really want to be spending so much on tuition and then have your kid lose out on internships and other possibilities because they don't know how to write an email, act in a one on one meeting or wash their clothes?  Or maybe mention to your kids that an interaction with a professor is a professional one that can have an impact on their future and check in on whether they know how to write an email, take notes in a meeting etc.[/quote]
