[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught at a college, am married to a professor, and most of my friends are professors. 100% -- ahead of cheating students, ahead of lying students, ahead of sexist students, ahead of dimwitted students -- the most unpleasant and dreaded we all talk about is dealing with parents. (A) we're not allowed to talk to them (doesn't stop them from talking to us) (B) they're almost always helicopter parents, their kids are usually B students, and try as I might not to punish the student for his parent's intervention, it's hard not to be annoyed and that annoyance unfairly reflects onto the student. So, just don't do it. Drugs? Alcohol abuse? Failing every class? Sure, in those cases you might need to talk to your kid and maybe coordinate with the college -- but never, EVER the professor.
