[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents! You do NOT need access or even possess your child’s class syllabus!! Please-they need to manage it! [/quote]

Why do you care. I don't disagree with you but it doesn't harm me nor is it any of my business what other parents do. [/quote]

Because if your kid "needs" their parents help to manage college at the level of syllabi then the kid should not be at college yet.  They belong at a CC and living at home.  Not at a 4 year college.  If your kid's adhd/anxiety is not managed well enough that they can do this themselves without more than a reminder to organize their syllabi/read them and put the due dates into a calendar, then they are not ready to manage college.

Parent of a kid with ADHD/Anxiety

You’re projecting.[/quote]

Nope, just keeping it real.  If you still need to micromanage your adult kid in college, then they are not really ready for college.  Time and money would be better spent on a year off with EF coaching and a job.  Eventually the kid has to learn how to navigate life on their own.  A parent cannot go with them to their internship or job and make sure they meet deliverables.  Sooner the kid does the work to develop these skills themselves the better.
