[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some parents here saying you have no say are parents of younger kids. I know if it were me footing that kind of bill, HELL YES I would expect to have a say. But yes by the same token would hear her out and be there if she needs me.

[b]By that I mean if this teacher is unnecessarily harsh, then maybe it needs to be looked into.[/b] I do think she needs to figure out a way to at least partially reimburse you if it comes to her dropping the class. Even if its 1/4, just for the lesson that it will teach her, that every decision has a consequence both good AND bad.

Please no.  As a professor, I assure you that a parent calling on behalf of your special snowflake does them absolutely no favors at all.  Actually, we sit around and compare stories of the most outrageous helicopter parent contacts we've received at parties.

The vast, vast majority of the time, what happens is that the professor has done something ridiculous like expect your child to show up for class, turn in work on time or that meets the course requirements, and/or participate in class discussions having read the assigned material ahead of time, as set out in the course syllabus.
