It's bad enough that these kids bring their parents. But then they let them ask questions for them? I just. don't. understand.CookieDough wrote:Also from a parent: "So what does the school do to help kids figure out what they want to do and how to get it?" *generic response about career services* "yeah but it's hard to figure out what you want, so do they tell you how to do that?"
Honestly I'd say there was a 60/40 split in favor of parents asking questions at ASW, the majority of questions coming from parents obviously being irrelevant.cotiger wrote:It's bad enough that these kids bring their parents.

how did this person get into Harvard I can't even (no I will not entertain notions of a spouse in DC or a full tuition scholly)I am 100000% positive that my mom would ask idiotic questions at ASW, which is why I did not invite her to come.scottidsntknow wrote:Honestly I'd say there was a 60/40 split in favor of parents asking questions at ASW, the majority of questions coming from parents obviously being irrelevant.cotiger wrote:It's bad enough that these kids bring their parents.

I understand parents wanting to come, especially in the case of KJDs and/or parents that are fronting the bill. However I don't think highly of it, because I know at least for me and being KJD, this is the start of my adult life and I should be taking these steps on my own.anyriotgirl wrote:I am 100000% positive that my mom would ask idiotic questions at ASW, which is why I did not invite her to come.scottidsntknow wrote:Honestly I'd say there was a 60/40 split in favor of parents asking questions at ASW, the majority of questions coming from parents obviously being irrelevant.cotiger wrote:It's bad enough that these kids bring their parents.

I mean I don't think my mom is super interested in coming, thank god, but she would if I asked her to. But, yeah I mean I'm two years out of college gotta get it together and be a real pseudo adult at some point.scottidsntknow wrote: I understand parents wanting to come, especially in the case of KJDs and/or parents that are fronting the bill.
