I'm with you Betty. My son is 18 now and in a local college. I called trying to find out what was going on with him and his classes (he had dropped two classes his first semester) and I got a stonewall. Like Joanna said, even though I'm paying. Heck we can't even get a copy of his report card anymore!!! I remember when I was in school, it went home to my parents.

The majority of the 18 yr olds going off to college for the first time, are still not fully prepared for the emotional changes of being away and being 100% responsible for themselves, yet we expect them to be.
