[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, it sounds like many parents here are in favor of their college age kids exhibiting the following behaviors?

1. Asking a question instead of looking at the syllabus or, frankly, using google.

2. Bad behavior like being disrespectful, being late, talking during class, getting up and stomping out of the classroom, anything like that.

3. Not know how to send emails, including properly address a person, type full sentences or make their question clear. [/quote]

Every single one of these happen in the workforce. So, why are we bashing teens? This thread needs to die. [/quote]

Yes, I was just in a meeting given by a cabinet secretary about the impending shut down. There were people asking really dumb questions that had been answered plain as day in the 1-page email the secretary's office sent out an hour earlier.[/quote]

Look, I get it and I find this frustrating behavior too. But some people just don't absorb information that way. People learn differently. They pick up information differently. And, lbh, some written materials, be it an email or syllabus, are not always examples of clarity and don't answer all questions.

So, have a little grace, whether you're a professor or a cabinet level admin. [/quote]
