[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 22 year old goes to class and does whatever he needs to.  If he couldn't do that I'm not sure we would pay for college.

How are these young adults going to function in the working world?  That's a serious question.  How will they manage at work if they can't manage in college?

That's like saying how can an 8th grader manage in college if he can't manage 8th grade. It's called time and maturity. [/quote]

If your young adult isn't mature enough for college don't send them yet.[/quote]

My young adult with autism and ADHD is doing just fine in college and guess what, I have his syllabus. The horror!!!! He is an EE major. I've been his EF coach since HS. He graduated with a 3.7 something unweighted. His college is free due to several stacked scholarships that have GPA requirements. I'm not about to let him lose them because I care if YOU think me having his syllabus is over parenting. After his freshman year in college he had a summer internships across the country and did so well he was asked back. My having his syllabus and acting as his EF coach (which I still do because we can't afford one) has not prevented him from success. If anything, it's helped. He was not only ready for college he is excelling at college. That he needs some scaffolding isn't a big deal. I'm also not sure why so many of you on here care. Worry about your own kids. [/quote]
