She's been sentenced to the 'covid hotel' for students at St Nazi College who have come in close contact with someone with covid. Mind you, she does not have covid...but she is being forced to stay in this on campus 'hotel' for 10 days. She must do her work remotely. She is 'allowed' 3 walks outside per day, for XX minutes a day, at specified times. They bring her meals. This is a private college, known for its excellence in music education. My daughter has always wanted to be a music teacher. She is based. A Trump supporter. A solid Christian. But, they have infiltrated her mind as she considers this sentence 'sound policy'. That, right there, is the worst part of it. She is missing TWO concerts, that she's worked all semester on, this weekend because her prison sentence comes during this and is 'unfortunate timing'. The bright side? Well, as her parents, we don't have to watch her concerts online (no in person attendance allowed) wearing her black muzzle while they sing and dance because she is no longer in the production. It pains us to watch that nonsense. Have we done anything about it? Absolutely! We sent the president our two cents worth... with no response, and even against our daughter's wishes. I soooo look forward to the day there is the true 4-6% left that haven't woken up. I do believe my daughter will wake up. We have sent her countless emails on mask wearing, and have had the talks about covid and the nonsense. I do think she is listening but her peers are the white noise while she's away. Unlike I would be, she's just a good kid and willing to take her 'sentence' like a 'grown up'. Pray for her. Pray they 'reduce her sentence'! I know this can't be easy.

Let her finish this semester then Pull her out of there. There are no music teachers in public schools any more. Do some research. That is a dead end degree you will have a lot of money tied up in. Plus they are going to continue to brain wash her which will cost you much more than dollars.
Actually, there is a shortage where we are, and she is not paying a dime, and neither are we. Not even any loans. She gets loads of scholarships that she earned herself due to excellent grades and high ACT scores. She has one more year left, which is mostly student teaching. I agree about the brain washing. That concerns me more than anything, but she's getting married this May to a great guy (based, Christian, Trumper) and will they finish this together. It's not my decision, it's hers. We have to pray her through it though! God is bigger, and thankfully she has a very strong faith, and strong core values.
10 days of solitary confinement is going to damage her psychologically, no?
For some anti-socials, it's a vacation.
Depends on the person. For me, the stupid lockdowns have only helped me get closer to God. I found more time for prayer, reading the Bible, and doing research, listening to lectures, etc. If she's a devout Christian, there shouldn't be any problems with damaging her psychologically due to a 10 day isolation policy.
It is worth it for the free education...
You must be so Proud.
As an evil step-parent of 4; now a Grandparent of 12; just 2¢ of wisdom
Not all marriages work. In 4 years she may have 2.3 kids, a monthly child support check and be on her own. Crap degree means crap income. Kids need to learn they need to be self-sufficient. If she has the skills to earn, then dual income families can provide better than single. If she winds up a solo act, she won’t be dependent on the Govt
Plan for the worst and hope for the best
Agreed. That's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Some close relatives are professional musicians and one went to St. Olaf. It was a top school then and may be now, but getting woke. It might have helped a little in becoming a college music professor but in my opinion being a good performer with private instructors and taking more education classes works too. The academic path is mainly for connections, again just my opinion.
