[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After spending some time on a parent Facebook group, none of this surprises me.  Parents are way over-involved.  I've seen people trying to find roommates for their college seniors! (This is always for "a sweet young man who doesn't drink and loves studying and quiet.")

Before my son picked his freshman classes, I did make sure he had the four-year plan for his major and a list of gen ed. classes handy.  For both kids, I check in once in a while to make sure they have been able to get the classes they need to stick to the four-year graduation plan, although one of them feels this is too much intervention.

That’s too much intervention. That’s what their academic advisors are for. [/quote]

I don’t think that’s too much intervention at all.  It is minimal and no different than he would be doing checking in with his boss, who is paying him, to make sure he’s on track for projects.  In this case it’s checking in with the person paying massive amounts of money for the degree to be completely in 4 years.  Reasonable.  [/quote]

That’s ridiculous logic. [/quote]
