Parents used to ask in 1st year, then stopped. Your relationship between your parents really change after you move out and become financially independent. | ||

Ya btw good chance that your gpa will drop @ least 10-15%, some of my friends gpa have even dropped about 20-25% from high school. I was about an 86% average give or take 2%. Last year I was 73 and this year I'm thinking 68 seems like the accurate number. ehh not true in my experience the thing is that it's harder to keep the same average in uni but not because the material but because of everything else for instance i, like u, was roughly high 80s in hs (88 i think) my avg in uni was mid 80s until i realized that it doesn't really make any sense for me to work to keep it at that level unless i were to push it past 87, which is the dean's list breakpoint here (and is tbh a lot of sacrifices for me, and the only thing you get at the end is 2 extra words : "with distinction") just look at the milestones, pass - dean's list - cum laude or whatever since the corresponding grades go something like 65 - 87 - 95+, there's really no difference between getting a 65 and an 85 for me since i'm not going to grad school, and both get me the same thing at the end. except 65 requires no work while 85 requires quite a bit. priorities  | ||

In Canada, we have the main school website, which displays all grades achieved, as well as special student sites that teachers upload your progress to. I don't even think you can get your grades mailed here in Canada, maybe you could request it, but I don't see why would would do that. Although you can always view your transcript or have it printed and that'll have your grades. My parents leave school business to me. My parents and I are past the point where they have to babysit me, I am twenty years old and at this point we both realize (especially me) that if I slack off or don't take school seriously, I am just fucking myself. I have self-motivation, I don't achieve my grades to please my parents, I do it because I have to stay in my course and move on to graduate school. My parents know that's what I want and that I work for it and am willing to do what I need to do. I don't think my parents have really ever been on my case about school from Gr. 12 onwards. There is a point where it's your responsibility and not theirs. When you're an immature kid some parents have to force their kid to do homework and to study because they don't realize the importance, but if your parents are still doing that in College, I think they need to realize it's out of their hands. | ||

colleges here are very strict about this and want the parents to be involved as much as possible and i for one don't like it.many students here get a huge lecture from their folks for getting an A and not an A+. | ||

Anyway, yeah. I check my grades online. I go to school in Pennsylvania and apparently there's like a law that prevents parents from calling the school and asking about their children's grades ... >_> But bottom line, if my parents ask, I tell them. | ||

You're not in highschool anymore. The only person you're fucking over by getting bad grades is yourself. | ||
