I have been a professor for over 30 years and cannot imagine not helping a student who has asked for some reasonable request. However, I think a student preparing a letter like choryphee and personally explaining to each professor what the problem is and that in an effort to both be successful in college and to fulfill the requirements in the prof’s class, he would like the professor to contact his parents whenever he notices a problem or if he stops attending class. It may not work for every class, but I’m pretty confident it would work for most of his classes.
