[quote=Anonymous]Just one. But he had been educated in another country and was used to a system where majors were declared much earlier. Was sending his daughter off to college and wanted to meet her advisor (me) and determine whether she was on track and in good hands. I managed to reassure him on both counts. Didn’t begrudge him the visit, which occurred early in her freshman year (she was a combination of mortified/apologetic and comically resigned). I’d feel really differently about a parent who intervened about a grade. But can imagine other situations (accident/incapacity/concern about suicidality) where a parent might check in for legit reasons and/or had no idea whom to call. [/quote]
