[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College prof here --- Parents who help with college papers are preventing their kids from learning. Parents who contact professors or administrators on their child's behalf get a reputation as nutbags. When we have to write a letter of recommendation for your child for grad school or a job, we are not inclined to describe them as mature, self-starters, energetic go-getters, etc.[/quote] I have no problem with parents making sure that the college and professors are providing their child with a high-quality education, especially since they are paying for it, in many cases! You wouldn't say the same about a shareholder checking in on a business that they've invested in, would you?[/quote] Not the same thing. Part of being a good parent is equipping your child for self-determination and then letting go. That is what they deserve, and nothing less.[/quote]
