[quote=Anonymous]As someone who failed out of college the first time, I think you need to understand the cause before you can intervene. But my attitude with my DD, who was diagnosed with a chronic illness a month before college was that the only test I needed her to pass was a blood test. And, she can always come home. Do you want your student to ever come home again, OP? Then take a careful approach when criticizing and remember you aren’t doing the work and may not know what you are really talking about. Try listening and try to imagine the reality. Are they overloaded? Do they know the magic of dropping a class or two? Office hours? Free tutoring in the library? Or maybe the trick that most college students get all their HW done at the coffee shop? Is it 15 degrees with a minus 5 windchill and they were dumb enough to sign up the 8am section? Lots of things to consider before you open your mouth and demand a change unless you have real solutions to offer.[/quote]
