[quote=Anonymous]17 year olds have no idea what professionalism or business writing entails. How can they? Have they been in the corporate world for the last few years? No, they have been sitting in a classroom, where if they are lucky, they received basic instruction in writing a business letter and that's what you got OP.

And quite frankly there schedules are more rigid than an adult and they have less time and flexibility than you do. They can't say "hey, you know what? let me meet you for coffee - say around 2pm - and we can chat between meetings..." School is a set time and place and they are required to be there. Sports practice - same thing.  Work - well you can either deride them for being non-professional writers or non-professional in their work ethic for failing show up for it or calling in sick - I guess take your pick!. Then their parents impose limits on their time also - how long they can be out on a given day, what activities they can do, etc.

And you can't complain about helicopter parents and then get mad when the kids try and write you emails and schedule things on their own. Make up your mind - do you want the parent to helicopter or not?[/quote]
