[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.

Totally agree.  Thank you for being the voice of reason.  Some parents may not realize how much damage they cause their child. [/quote]

+1 Cannot imagine why a parent would want to set their kid up for failure.  Help them develop these essential tools---EF can be "taught".  My kid had none in ES and learned thru lots of help in ES/MS/HS.  Sure life is harder for them, but they learned to manage and develop those skills so they can function in life.  But if they were not ready to handle college you would be killing their self esteem by sending them.  [/quote]
