Where do you go were you take classes that don't have mandatory attendance? Yeah, giant lecture classes don't have mandatory attendance because there are simply too many people to take it, but most of my classes have a much smaller number of people. Yeah, attendance is mandatory, and you know what? They'll lower your grade or fail you if you miss enough days. Most of my Profs also include participation as part of our grade, which you can only get if you go to class. Granted, I don't think the OP's mom needs to be walking him to class. Unless of course he's failing the classes because of skipping. This doesn't make sense though because colleges aren't actually allowed to notify the parents of student going ons. Every piece of mail that contains grades etc is addressed to the student. Of course, if his mom is overprotective and neurotic then maybe she took his log-in information for the online grading stuff and checks up on him.

To #54, none of my classes this year are mandatory, and last year, I think attendance was taken in two or three out of eight classes. But if your mum is paying for your education and you're taking it for granted and skipping, then you YDI. Stop being lazy and go to class, college is hardly a 9-5 thing everyday for most degrees.

Perhaps he'is in prépa, thus all his classes are mandatory.

attendance is not mandatory in college, but if u don't go it's still cutting

btw: in most high schools, u can't continue on beyond age 19

Nah, they have an 8 year plan.... you can go to High School until ur 21.

Yeah, my high school let people go until 20, but once they hit 21 they couldn't anymore. I think it probably had something to do with them being able to buy alcohol.
