[quote=Anonymous]I have a daughter in college and we pay about the same amount as you. I would never tell my DD to suck it up if she was experiencing a stress that could be relieved so easily. While GPA is important, my real concern is my DD's health and happiness. Clearly your daughter has conveyed to you that she is failing at a number of points. She is suffering extreme stress. Her professor (an outside observer) has noted that the sport is too much for your daughter to handle in conjunction with her class load. She is probably not doing well at the sport because of anxiety and her other classes are quite possibly suffering as well because the sport is too time consuming. You seem fixated on getting your money's worth. Why pay full price for subpar grades? Whether she takes 13 credits or 21 credits you are paying one price. Why endanger her health and her future over a class she can always take later? Why let her continue in a sport that puts her under so much duress? How is that getting your money's worth? Next time she has a crisis and needs someone to turn to, will it be you? [/quote]
