[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At LACs, professors do this sometimes.  [/quote]
Professors will reach out to parents of adult children to say, "Your kid skipped class"?  Wow, that's some handholding there.

Your peers/managers at work will get concerned if you don't show up to work without any explanation because you are paid to show up to work or you get fired.

If an adult doesn't show up to a class that they paid for, they don't get kicked out of school for it.

If you are concerned about your adult child at college you can call the college and ask them to do a welfare check.

If you are concern is that your adult child is just skipping class because they don't feel like going, that's your kid's issue, not the school's.[/quote]

No, the professor reached/reaches out to the student.

At a LAC it's not unusual, given the sense of community.[/quote]
[b]That's still some handholding for adults. [/b]   Is OP's adult child at a LAC?

I guess this is like a sink or swim at big vs small colleges, and also the difference between public HS and private HS where your child is handheld at every step of the way.[/quote]

I disagree, but whatever.  :: shrug ::[/quote]
