I'm so happy my parents weren't crazy.

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?

How about everyone minds their own damn business? Now let’s get back to serious stuff like bashing Northeastern & discussing Wall Street feeder schools!!!

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.
New poster here. Are you saying you actually HAVE your kid’s syllabus???

I largely agree with you, PP, but I also acknowledge that increasing numbers of students with LD and mental illness are entering schools. Many could benefit from some additional support in time management. Moreover, if parents are paying, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to ask for this info. If you were making monthly car payments for your young adult child, you’d want to know that the scheduled maintenance was taking place.
What a crock of ablist BS. I have two kids with LD in college. The whole point of federal laws and disability services is to assure INDEPENDENT access to education and opportunity.
Your comment is condescending, classist and mind-numbingly ignorant as to how higher education works.
"If parents are paying..." how much? Are only full pay parents allowed to see the full schedule? smh

I agree.
My college student has adhd and we hired an executive function coach. I don’t think the coach looks at the syllabus either.
I’ve never spoken with the coach, and college kid interviewed them and decided to work with them. This is for college kid to manage.
When kid asks for help, I am here.
We feel a little nervous about grades due to the adhd but we rarely ask.

Oh dear, no. Colleges have many resources—tutoring, writing centers, supports. Your kid needs to learn how to access those services, not rely on mom to tell them when to go to the library because they saw on Larlo’s syllabus that there was quiz coming up in PoliSci.

I was in a zoom meeting with my coworker and he was telling me how he was helping his son write an essay paper this weekend. WTF! That’s who we will be working with in 4 years!

A neighbor said her sister was “abandoning” her college kid because she did not know anything about the classes. You don’t need to! I don’t even know my kid’s schedule!
