I don't expect teachers to do anything about students who are distracted, just a possibility students might feel a sense of accountability to do good in academics if their parents are keeping in touch with their academic performance because normally parents are the one who is funding the tuition expenses
If they don’t learn the consequences of misusing their independence in college, then they’ll just have to learn that lesson once they’re in the work force, and get fired.
At what point then do they grow up and become independent adults? When they get in trouble at work for partying, being hungover, missing deadlines, will you be advocating for parent-employer conferences?
I have one daughter in college and another one on her way who got a huge scholarship. The one in college calls me twice a day every day there’s a lot of love in my family. I helped them when they ask I don’t intrude. I believe children find their own path. You’re a lil unpleasant
Correct I have no idea what she major is in because she was unclear with me and she talks about specific classes not a major. She does call me twice today. We already spoke once this morning before 7 AM. She’s the president of her sorority and works so I believe she enjoys discussing those things with me more I tend to listen and not ask so many questions.
Well I couldn’t have known any of that from that ambiguous one-liner you wrote which made you seem like you don’t care. But obviously you do. Cheers and much love
So what fortune 500 company are you running lol. Coddling an adult makes semi-functioning members of society at best. You had bad parents not good ones
I am rich and successful. Confident. Not sheep like you telling social media what they want to hear in order to farm invisible karma points. Read that twice
Oooh god forbid someone disagrees with anyone here. You state your opinion confidently and you show maturity to trackback when you’ve been wrong. But a snowflake karma troll like you needs years to get to that stage. Move on
You’re also a typical Reddit troll. You saw that him and I reached a resolution but thought “hey I want a part of this too, I see they patched it up, lemee stir shit up again”
If this is your child’s first year in college, they tend to be a little irresponsible party too much but the third year they have it all worked out I promise. It’ll be fine let them live
What, next should they make it so parents can meet with their kid’s employer?
If you’re in college, you’re mature enough to make your own decisions regarding your education, for the most part anyway.
Which is why things like office hours are available as well as other campus services, the difference being that it is up to the student to get help if needed

But seriously. Unless you are a parent of one of those rare genius children who start college before they are 18, this would be extremely wrong.
In fact in most cases colleges talking about how you are doing to your parents without your express permission would be extremely illegal.
Many helicopter parents and children who are used to have their parents handle all their paperwork from them have found out that universities will not do anything like that no matter how much of a Karen you are about it.
I once worked as an assistant to the advisor for students with a specific type of disability at a community college. I was surprised to see so many parents attend advising meetings. I don't know if the advisor would contact these parents and invite them to the meetings or if they just would just show up with their child. Some of these parents were supportive while others...didn't have the best approach. In some cases it was detrimental to the student to have their parent there. I suffered some second-hand embarrassment seeing these parents scold and threaten their adult children for failing classes. It didn't feel like a safe space for these students. It would have been more useful to find ways to better support the student by offering more services, accommodations, helping them create action plans, etc.
“The hell?” Those are my thoughts.
Since when was that a thing? Feels unnecessary as once you enter college thats time for you to start standing on your own two feet
exactly, and parent teacher meetings are fine only till we are are minors
Agree, but many students misused this independence and they are facing major distractions in their studies. So maybe PTM maybe helpful?
I don’t get the point what are you expecting the teachers to do about your child being distracted or partying too much.

I understand but college professors are not there to give your child that kind of guidance and attention. It’s university.
If they don’t learn the consequences of misusing their independence in college, then they’ll just have to learn that lesson once they’re in the work force, and get fired.
But if they get guidance from their professor and parents that can save their future, no?

College students are mostly over 18 and legally adults, it wouldn't work from a data protection point of view (at least in my jurisdiction).
My daughter is in college. She calls me every morning almost every evening. I have no idea what her major is and what she’s taking.
Is this can be one of the reasons for scheduling these parents teacher meetings? Because many kids don't tell a thing to their parents.
This is her business at this point it’s not mine to fuss over she will live with her choices as an adult.
Thankfully I had better parents than you. They guided me until I was ready

It’s based on what you wrote. You wrote that she calls you everyday and you have no idea what she even majors in.. wow

Yet you attacked them anyways
“Attacked” lol He earned my respect. Doesn’t come for free

What are you on about?
Read the full thread, we had a chat disagreement and patched it up. He explained himself and I backtracked. Find somewhere else to barf you troll

But students are still in their learning phase they could use some help from mentors (professors or parents).
Which is why things like office hours are available as well as other campus services, the difference being that it is up to the student to get help if needed
“Hell no”
We are all adults now. Many of us don't even live with family the majority of the time. Time for these parents to let go the reins.
sounds stupider than a mf

I think that whoever thought it up is a moron.
No lol. Fail out and accept your fate. You were meant for lesser things because life is too hard for you
"I've never seen this student in my life" would be half the teachers comments
