[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These straw men comments are really low watt. We’re talking about 18 yo kids, not 25 or 30 yo. Most college sexual assaults are girls 18 and 19. Most dropouts are first or second year. Most hospital visits. It’s the prime age when drug addiction and alcoholism arises.[/quote]

But OP is tying it to the fact that she is the one paying.  She says because she is the one paying, she should be entitled to her adult child's health information, grades, sexual assault information, any police reports on him, etc.   And you are saying well yes, I mean, he's just 18, not 30.  Okay.  So what about the 18 year old who has a scholarship/loans and has broken away from his parents fully?  Is the school calling his parents too?  Of course not- he is a legal adult, he is estranged from his parents, they aren't on the tuition bill anywhere, why would the school involve them?  So it goes back to the payment issue.  OP thinks she is paying for private information- including health information which is illegal to share-  about her adult child but she isn't, she's paying for his college tuition.

What about kids whose parents pay half the tuition and they have a scholarship for the rest of it?  Do THEY get this private information shared with their parents also? [/quote]
