| I think it's certainly very good for parents to be involved with the process, but quiting ones job to command some sort of precision military style operation is certainly going a BIT overboard to say the least.
Parents aren't going to be there in college to be the personal assistant for their child when managing projects, assignments and day-to-day scheduling so the student needs to largely be able to do that themselves. Afterall they are, almost, adults.
I think the best role for parents is as a mentor through the process. Someone to bounce ideas off, discuss pros and cons of various options and someone to stand on the sidelines and make sure things progress forward, but they shouldn't be in command and running the whole operation... that's the job of the student. |
