[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]

PP here.  Where did you even get this ridiculous rant? I said graduation will be here before he knows it and to keep going. I didn’t say what GPA he needed to have.   I don’t care what his GPA is when he graduates. My kid loves learning and loves challenges and the point is, engineering is not an easy major.

Maybe as an individual in the higher education space you should step back and recognize that not all kids have strict parents and some kids actually have their own goals.  It sounds like you haven’t figured that out yet.
