While my reaction to my daughter getting released would have been far different from the mother in question, I have learned that as a parent you can never judge another parent. Once you let the words out 'I would never' or 'I can't believe that they did/allowed that' then you will surely be put in the exact same position and perhaps even react the same way. We do not know this mother or daughter or what their relationship is like. She mentioned that her daughter is shy, perhaps by saying 'did she try hard enough' she meant small thinks like speaking audibly or making eye contact. Shy people do have to work at small stuff like that. As to the comment about Auburn being the right school for her daughter, that could have meant many things. I would like to assume that for a shy girl, going to a very large school and not getting into a social unit (in this case a sorority) would make for a tough start to a college career. Shyness is a hard trait to deal with, it does require effort to overcome. I hope that the mother in question has not been scared away from all of the harsh postings because I would love to know what happens to her daughter as the semester unfolds.
