Comments on: Letters to the Editor (March 11): Alpine Ridge fails tenants; Haegar saves day http://jackcentral.com/opinion/2010/03/letters-to-the-editor-march-11-alpine-ridge-fails-tenants-haegar-saves-day/ Your online northern Arizona (and Flagstaff) news source Tue, 07 Sep 2010 19:57:32 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Sir Issac Newton http://jackcentral.com/opinion/2010/03/letters-to-the-editor-march-11-alpine-ridge-fails-tenants-haegar-saves-day/comment-page-1/#comment-10503 Sir Issac Newton Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:57:33 +0000 http://jackcentral.com/?p=13764#comment-10503 So the parent did all the work for their child who is supposed to becoming an adult. Instead of educating your daughter on how to function in the real world, mommy complained to the big boss and got her way. I wonder if that scholarship you demanded, because you (or more importantly your daughter) did not get the correct information, was supposed to go to someone else. Also had you done correct research you would know that your daughter is not a freshmen anymore, but a transfer student, and then you would know she was not eligible for that scholarship. In essence we are applauding Haeger for giving in and granting the wishes of someone who did not do their work. We are applauding a parent who did all the work for their college student, instead of educating their kid. Nothing was learned from this situation except that you can push around NAU leadership. Maybe next year I will write a letter to Haeger and demand a full-ride scholarship. Wish me luck. So the parent did all the work for their child who is supposed to becoming an adult.
