[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at what age should an institution of higher education cut the cord for the parents who are too clingy to do it themselves or who were too lax in preparing their child for adulthood?[/quote]

You don’t think the college should tell parents your 18 yo freshman was popped for drugs or drinking or found passed out in a hallway? What about passed out 3 times? What about rapes? You prefer they control everything—because when they control KIDS they have a track record of doing what’s best for the U, not your kid. [/quote]

Correct.  You think that the police will call 18 or 19 year old Johnny's mom after he is arrested for rape to let them know what happened?  You think the doctor at the hospital will call 18 or 19 year old Johnny's mom and let her know he had a bout of alcohol poisoning?  Just because Johnny is a college student as opposed to a working high school graduate?  Do you think the doctor calls the college to ask "is Johnny's mom paying his tuition, and his health insurance?  Yes?  Ok, thank you, I will now violate HIPAA and call his mother on him." [/quote]
