<p>^^My thoughts as well cangel.</p>

<p>Bob, you are not alone on these boards. There have been many forthcoming posters who have shared similar experiences. Check out the Second Semester Blues thread for some valuable insight: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=300244[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=300244&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

But I learned a valuable lesson…I will trust my mental “little red flags” waving in my head and jump in the car again in a flash.

<p>I also recall this article in the WSJ in September addressing the frustration with privacy policies: <a href=“http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118938714106322174.html[/url]”>http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118938714106322174.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The 1974 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or Ferpa, bars schools from sharing information in a student’s record without that student’s permission. But the law provides several exceptions. Among them: if there’s a “health or safety emergency” or if the student is declared a dependent on his or her parents’ taxes.

<p>It is a sad story and there were many red flags.</p>

<p>You may want to start a separate thread to get more attention from the veteran posters. My sincere best wishes for a good outcome for your family.</p>
