[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your DC coming home for Thanksgiving next week? The ATCs are getting backpaid now, but the ATC shortage and flight cancellations are expected to spill over Thanksgiving travels. I understand the situation is flux, with differing opinions when the full schedule will return, but as of this morning the flight cuts remain at 6%.  DC is a freshman in midwest with tickets for a 4-days trip home to Wash DC next week, but has concerns that the delays might add unbearable travel time and frustrations, or worse leave them stranded in DC (I know some travellers double-book, but the prices have gone way up). With the fall semester coming to an end and finals week starts Dec 10, would DC be better off postponing coming home till after finals? [b]To put it in context, DC struggles a bit with the final stretch in getting decent final grades (B+ and above) in the most consequential semester of their college career. [/b]What are the considerations for your own DC when making this go / no-go decision? TIA[/quote]

First semester freshman year is not "the most consequential semester of their college career." Please get some perspective (and let your child come home).[/quote]

Understood the perspective comment, but curious to hear which semester would be the most consequential if the question is posed to you. Also from which perspective (setting the tone, GPA, choosing/confirming major, summer internships, first full-time job, others. Thanks[/quote]
