I see them again on campus, and smile and say hi, but half the time I can't remember the name, or what course... I like knowing my high school kids well. I regret that we don't build anything close to that at college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-29830312275895427842007-12-17T21:42:00.000-05:002007-12-17T21:42:00.000-05:00PO--I recognize all the student types you describe...PO--I recognize all the student types you describe.<BR/>Since I teach writing, I have the students write a diagnostic essay first day of class. So many students are writing of the battles of life they have already fought it takes my breath away.<BR/>These students frequently work full time, and try to go to college full time. When something needs to give, too often it is school. Frustrates me a great deal.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-75795333617537127522007-12-17T21:27:00.000-05:002007-12-17T21:27:00.000-05:00Maybe I babied my own children too much, but at 19...Maybe I babied my own children too much, but at 19 they either lived in their college dorms or with me, not with a girl friend of 2 months.Pissedoffteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924089808582137198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-85842015007722079502007-12-17T20:32:00.000-05:002007-12-17T20:32:00.000-05:00Um, why should a 19-year-old college student be li...Um, why should a 19-year-old college student be living at home with mom and dad? I didn't live at home when I was in college. Is it a different standard for a four-year college (where we expect most students to be living away from home) and community college students?<BR/><BR/>I don't really think it's unreasonable for parents to expect their "children" to be supporting themselves and living on their own at 19yo.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're treated like a professional at the college!mathmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869925405540832241noreply@blogger.com
