[quote=Anonymous]I agree that there is a difference between guidance and helicoptering. Help your daughter understand the options available to her (one of which should be dropping the class but paying for the extra cost associated with it) and then let her decide. And as for paying for the dropped class, here is an idea. I had an agreement with my parents that I would pay them back for half of law school. They paid upfront, and we had an agreed upon amount that I had to pay them back once I started working. And I did. To my parents' credit, they didn't actually need the money so they required me to pay it into a brokerage account, which they then turned over to me when I was paid up (about $40,000 or $50,000 I think). The point, though, was that I had "skin in the game" for law school.[/quote]
