[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another engineering parent here.  My DS was a straight A student in HS and is now a sophomore in college. GPA dropped to a 3.2 
The work ethic is there but these classes are crazy hard.  I keep telling my DC to keep going and before he knows it, graduation will be here. It really goes by so fast. [/quote]

Was the expectation set that your DS was going to get straight A's in college as well? It sounds like it.

It's a shame if parents are setting such high bars and the poor students are trying but will only disappoint their families. It's just too much pressure, as an individual in the higher education space it's been so hard seeing solid students with significant mental health issues because of unrealistic exceptions. [/quote]

Where did you get that? The comment was about sub 3. Not 3.8 and why not 4?
But I hope you got your 'sainthood mom moment' for the day.[/quote]

Not a sainthood mom here. However, a higher education professional who sees the side affects of these unrealistic grade expectations that result in suicides. The expectation starts at home. [/quote]
