[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically never. If they can't fight minimal battles like this by the time they're in college, it's long past time to learn. [/quote]

+1  You've created this strawman where your child is 100% right and the professor is 100% wrong....this is rarely the case. Regardless, it's your child's responsibility to solve their own problems.  Your involvement would reflect very poorly on your child.[/quote]

Yes, his. If they are mature enough to go to college, they should be dealing with this by themselves. When they get a job they will get a bad boss or two and will have to figure out how to deal with them. [/quote]

I can just picture it. OP going to upper management at Larla's first job to complain that her direct supervisor is incompetent. [/quote]

I manage a group of about 30 employees and once had a parent call me about a young employee I had hired the year before who had been passed over for promotion. I think he was 24 or 25 years old. Needless to say, he did not last long in the job![/quote]
