[quote=Anonymous]The number of parents I get who reach out to contact me increases each semester. I had a parent this semester reach out to introduce herself Male Student's Mom. She also let me know that I should feel free to text her if her son is missing class or assignments. The others in my department had a good laugh over that one! In 20 years of being a professor, I can think of exactly one time in which it was appropriate for the parent to contact me: the student was in an accident during fall break and in a coma. The parents had no idea what to do so they emailed all their child's professors and the dean of their child's program. Did they ask for anything? No. It was purely information in a FYI, see that this reaches the appropriate channels situation. The student made a full recovery and came back for fall semester the following year. [/quote]
