My parents are both college professors, and it made me want to question authority, standards and traditions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it'd be useful for parents to know kind of what is the culture of an institution.
My mother wanted me to be a professor, because I have several people in my family who are professors at university.
It was always assumed I would be a professor. I grew up thinking it.
My parents weren't stereotypical and pressuring me to go to college. They mentioned it a lot and constantly, but it wasn't a do or die thing, like, 'You have to do this or you're done.'
I support high academic standards. Period.
I come from a family of working professionals: my dad is a chartered accountant, and my mom is a professor.
I come from a family of educators. My sister is a college teacher. My dad is a college teacher, but first a junior high teacher.
My father was a professor of folklore, and my mother was a teacher until she was married. I had a good relationship with them, and the only argument we had was when I went to university and wanted to go into the theater instead of studying to be a lawyer.
My father is a college professor and that's about the extent of my college experience. I'm sort of a professional student forever. I think just as human beings we always have a student who is alive in us and is waiting to pop up and make us feel like we are 16 years-old again.
As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.
