[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op.  You are right, your son is not giving himself enough time to get between classes and he will have too many exams/assignment falling due the same day of the week.

18 credits is a lot even when they are split between M/W/F and T/H.

That said, your kid has his reasons for wanting a light T/TH.  He is the one who made this schedule and he'll have to work it out with his professors if he's consistently a few minutes late every day.  He may ask his professors if he can leave class 5 minutes early in order to make the classes on time.

He would have figured it out and you should have let him figure it out.  I totally understand where you were coming from though.  Your his mom and you don't suddenly stop looking out for his best interests the minute he goes into college.  I get it.  But you need to back off.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks.   Yes, my main concern was getting from class to class in that ten minute break, when it takes a full ten minutes just to walk between buildings.   Just one "sprint" would probably be ok, but having 4 back to back classes where EVERY time, he would have to sprint between classes, just seemed insane to me.   I don't think he or the advisors looked at which buildings the classes would be held in when they designed the schedule.  The advisors were working with hundreds of students.[/quote]

I love that you fake asked if you were a helicopter mom and "that parent".  Despite all the posts saying you were, the only ones you respond to arr the ones to prove your point that you were "right".  Not only are you a helicopter mom, you're the worst type of one. [/quote]
