[quote=Anonymous]I have a 20 year old student. If I were paying and providing their home, food, etc with the understanding they were going to school, I’d want an explanation. My general opinion is that if you’re grown enough to make the choice you should be grown enough to own it. My next question would be, what’s your plan? Have they actually been forward thinking or just winging it. Depending on their response, I’d tell them what’s acceptable to me. I’d likely want to be reimbursed for the cost of the classes they didn’t take and they could stay at home if they stayed in school or started training for a trade. If those options didn’t work, it would be time for them to make a plan to move out. If, during the course of this conversation, it seemed there were larger mental health issues at play, that would change its trajectory. But either way I’d probably offer to help the kid find a counselor if they wanted to. [/quote]
