- bell-cot 5y agoTrue. But very often mommy & daddy - who write the checks for college tuition - expect the college to change his (metaphorical) diapers. And never dish out serious consequences for their failure to potty train him.
- lazide 5y agoAnd university/college is generally when they hit the wall of reality that it can’t and won’t happen any more. Agree there is pressure, but the more admins cave, the worse it is for everyone.
