[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents! You do NOT need access or even possess your child’s class syllabus!! Please-they need to manage it! [/quote]

Why do you care. I don't disagree with you but it doesn't harm me nor is it any of my business what other parents do. [/quote]

Because if your kid "needs" their parents help to manage college at the level of syllabi then the kid should not be at college yet.  They belong at a CC and living at home.  Not at a 4 year college.  If your kid's adhd/anxiety is not managed well enough that they can do this themselves without more than a reminder to organize their syllabi/read them and put the due dates into a calendar, then they are not ready to manage college.

Totally agree.  Thank you for being the voice of reason.  Some parents may not realize how much damage they cause their child. [/quote]

Chiming in to agree. One of ours has both Anxiety and ADHD and I get so tired of people using this as an excuse for either poor behavior or micromanaging. Our focus was on finding the combo of meds and/or therapies that allowed our kid to function as an independent person. The world doesn’t change for them. They have to figure out how to manage themselves and function in it. [/quote]
