National Tertiary Education Union national president Alison Barnes, who recently worked at Macquarie University, said she increasingly received calls from distressed parents who wanted to review and discuss their child’s grades.“It was time-consuming.” “That puts a lot of pressure on kids to do well. If kids aren't passing then that can lead to parents getting involved.”
At Monash University, student ambassadors are trained to tackle questions from parents in the lead-up to open day.“Parents are coming in mobs and the numbers have increased,” Monash University education lecturer Sarika Kewalramani said. “Families, carers and friends play a vital role in ensuring students transition well to university, are able to manage their studies and to navigate any bumps along the way.”Every year at Tianjin University in China, more than 1000 parents camp in tents on campus and look out for their children as they settle into college. And in the US, a popular app provides the parents of college students with access to their child's academic and financial data.
One Victorian university employee, who works in student support, said she was shocked by the lack of resilience she was seeing in young people.
Nothing in comparison to the Marxist SJW feminist students and professors. These idiots are literally advocating communism and the eradication of free speech.
Even 20 years ago some parents contacted academics re their student's progress etc. I see nothing wrong with it as long as parents make an appointment with staff. Why should academics be exempt from scrutiny ? Many parents make huge sacrifices to educate their children.
