My daughter was placed on academic suspension just one week before she is to return for next semester; yes, she failed her classes BUT as far as I know and in my research of emails, etc., she was not given any type of warning or probationary period. I sincerely feel it is the school's responsibility to make the student and/or parents aware as early as possible that a suspension is the next step. I also am so livid with her I could spit nails. She tells me she knew she had a low grade, had dropped 2 classes in late October (which I was NOT aware of) and now she does not want to appeal it, has no plans to return. She feels she was not given all the true facts and info upon admission, which will require six years of school to get where she wishes. We now have student loans and ParentPlus loans for a full semester all for nothing!!! I think this should be one of those hard life lessons and have told her she is on her own from here on out. I will support her but I will not take out any more parent loans, pay for books, and I will not do the footwork necessary to enroll, etc for any other schools. Am I the only one that has to deal with this stuff. I'm trying to remain calm but am about at my wits end.
