[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is the daughter was pulled aside by the professor rather than being corrected (and embarrassed) in front of the entire class.

Perhaps she was called in to advisor's office so they could have a more in depth conversation and understanding rather than an email which may have been interpreted MORE harshly without any ability to hear tone.

Rather than being obnoxious jerks, these may be people trying to help the daughter navigate life.[/quote]

Your biases and motives are obvious. These two outliers could very well be petty obnoxious cat people on the hunt for slights and chances to power-trip.[/quote]

Not sure what you think my biases and motives are.  I'm just a parent of college aged kids.  I was offering an alternative theory for how these people behaved but [b]since none of us witnessed these events and are hearing about them third hand, it is difficult to know[/b].[/quote]

Bingo.  I took the OP's DD at her word that most wanted to be addressed this way, but apparently many here believe the DD's reportage was inaccurate.[/quote]
