The point is that college is not where you learn the DI disipline. There will be plenty of time for that with his DI.
The point IS the college professor sets the rules for attendance in his class. You violate the rules you suffer the consequences........"Basic Facts of Life - 101" which you should have learned at home.......
You on the other hand feel the kid needs to still be treated as a child and nurtured.......I can understand that.
You and I won't ever agree on the proper course of action but I'm confident that my assesment will benefit the kid more in life than yours will.......
