How humiliating to be in a university registrar’s office with your father taking charge.BAs I stood in line, waiting for my own question to be answered, I reflected on how times have changed.CI am as old as, if not older than, most faculty members.DNonetheless, I do remember what it was like to be an 18-year-old undergraduate. The first-year experience is exciting, liberating and terrifying, all combined to help us grow into adulthood. That is, if our parents don’t come with us.EThe young man at the counter had some sort of registration problem. It is inevitable in the first year. The woman behind the counter clearly felt, as I did, embarrassed for this young man, who was accompanied by his no doubt well-intentioned, but misguided, father.FDad did the talking while his son struggled to lift his eyes and look at the woman trying to help them. I thought about those small bits of self-confidence that were so painstakingly built in boyhood, and how they were being crushed at the counter. What I saw was a student who looked perfectly able to ask a few questions and get the information he needed.GI grew very angry. “Oh, grow up, go home,” I wanted to shout at Dad from my place in the line.HI was equally shocked as I sat in a seminar for 500 first-year teaching assistants and was told what to do when Mom and/or Dad shows up in your office complaining about the marks or assignments that you have given to their children. It is a very real issue in universities these days.IBaby-boomer parents seem to struggle with two things: saying no and letting go. The teaching assistants massed together in the theatre were advised to send unhappy parents directly to professors. I sat in disbelief, but yes, it happens.JMom and Dad, your children are no longer children. Rather, they are eagerly trying to be adults. So whatever are you doing in line with them at the registrar’s office?KTwenty years ago, when I first entered university, parents did not follow their children all the way there. My parents dropped me at the front door of St. Hilda’s College at the University of Toronto and drove five hours back home.LI was not ready, prepared or clearly aware about what would happen over the course of the next four years, but I muddled through. From professors and teaching assistants to registrars and student-loan officers, I learned to find my way through the perils and pleasures of university life. Naturally, I made mistakes, but then I still do.MWere my parents not caring or uninterested? Not at all. What they were not was university-educated baby-boomers who believe all events must be designed and controlled and that everything I did was a direct reflection on them.NMy parents came from another generation. They never set foot in a university. They were pleased, and supportive, when I decided to attend but they considered me an adult at 18.OThe incident I saw in the registrar’s office was not an unusual sight. I wish it were. Rather, about six people behind me in line, I discovered another parent-child grouping. This time a son was pleading with his mother to stay put while he went to the counter and dealt with the problem himself. They were still negotiating when I left.PToo many baby-boomer parents are overly concerned with success. They just don’t want to let go.QWhen I tell my mother that I have won a scholarship and will undertake graduate research in Europe this fall she says, “That’s nice, dear.”RMy mother would argue that my success is my own. I would argue that my success is a result of being allowed the freedom to make mistakes and find my own way.STo parents whose children are at tending first-year university, just remember they have all grown up now. It is time for you to do the same.1___ The self-confidence, which young man had gradually managed to build as a boy, was now being destroyed at the counterwhen his father did the talking.2___ My mother always said that I succeeded through my own efforts, while I held that my success came from my parents who gave me the freedom to make mistakes and work hard by myself.3___ Although I was not sure what would happen in my four-year university life, I still went through all challenges and also experienced its joys and sorrows.4___ The female clerk behind the counter, like me, was obviously embarrassed for the young boy who was still accompanied by his father.5___ All kinds of experiences in the first year are mixed to make us really grow up. Of course, this is based on the premise that our parents let go.6___ A seminar for first-year teaching assistants told what to do when parents come to your office and complain about low scores or too much homework.7___ My parents are not college- educated baby-boomers who believe everything has to be planned and controlled by them.8___ Your children are eager to grow up, so you don't have to queue up with your children at the registration office.9___ I found a boy was pleading with his mother to stand still and let him go to the desk to deal with the problem himself.10___ My parents have never been to college, but they were very pleased and supported me when I decided to go to college.
