[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So at what age should an institution of higher education cut the cord for the parents who are too clingy to do it themselves or who were too lax in preparing their child for adulthood?[/quote]

You don’t think the college should tell parents your 18 yo freshman was popped for drugs or drinking or found passed out in a hallway? What about passed out 3 times? What about rapes? You prefer they control everything—because when they control [b]KIDS [/b]they have a track record of doing what’s best for the U, not your kid. [/quote]

We can send them to war. Whether you like it or not, they are not capital K-I-D-S kids. If you want that dynamic, foster it yourself with your kid. But no, it is not anyone elses responsibility to go to a parent.

Also, one thing you learn in college (as a freshman for me, reporting domestic abuse and rape to the parents of a friend) is....a lot of parents are shit.

Universities can't take on that liability. "We think Larla drank to much and was raped." :Parents not you: "Well, we always knew she's by a lying whore. Send her home, we'll take care of it."

No. Way. [/quote]
