[Anchor] It seems there is a story about a parent that is causing quite a stir, is that right?

[Reporter] Yes. A parent, identified as A, who has a child in college, recently claimed on an online community that their child is in a situation where they might have to cancel an overseas trip that was booked six months ago.

The parent stated that the academic schedule was changed due to the professor's circumstances, causing the final exam to overlap with the travel dates.

Parent A argued that "it is due to the professor's circumstances, not the student's fault," and expressed a desire to claim compensation for the travel cancellation fees and emotional distress from both the professor and the university.

The parent also claimed that a request to have their child take the exam separately was rejected.

However, most netizens have reacted coldly.

Many expressed opinions such as, "Whether to go on a trip or take the exam is a decision for the student to make," and "Academic operations are within the professor's discretion."

Some netizens also raised the possibility that the story might be exaggerated or fabricated.

Regardless of the intent behind the post, as college students are legally adults, it appears necessary for them to take responsibility for their own choices and consequences.
