Comment on Parent participation without emptying a mother’s purse by Take the hassle out of moving in or moving out

Take the hassle out of moving in or moving out — Wed, 22 May 2013 01:07:57 +0000

[...] I remember the day I helped Amber, my oldest daughter, move into her first college dorm. It was a lot of work and it was really hot. The university she attended at the time (Amber has since transferred from Georgia College to be closer to home) was fairly organized with students showing up at pre-determined times, signing in and moving their belongings into their suites. Moving is one of my least favorite things to do and I wish I had been able to enlist help. That would have made me one happy first-time college mom. [...]

Julie B — Tue, 07 May 2013 16:37:33 +0000

I Actually need help in making some decisions. I have missed a lot of my Biology class due to a knee injury. The day the injury happened i notified my professor and let her know from the get go of what i was facing..MISSING CLASSES!!! We met on three occassions only for her to tell me each time we met that i was barely passing , After the second meeting with her telling me i was barely passing which was the middle of the semester . I asked her if it would be a better idea if i withdraw from class, “OH no she said you will be fine .” So i continued to miss classes due to my injury but keep up on the lecture and miss mostly the Labs . She again waits until after the the third exam to haul me into her office and tell me i was close to failing . I again asked ,”What do you suggest i do?” She said oh you will be fine don’t give up . keep studying… So i missed a full week after that due to my knee injury,, I finally spoke with my adviser, he said ask for an Incomplete, So i did , She refused because i missed to many days. I feel like i have been blocked and made to accept what she decides , After i tried to work with her and work tings out , i was willing to do anything even take the class over , She said no thats not necessary??????????I am confused i need insight . All my other classes prior have been Bplus….
