[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is almost worse than the tracking app post. Can parents please cut the cord? Especially about accessing their kids medical records? You’re just asking your kids to sneak around, not use the on campus medical, etc. Where is the trust??

My child is not quite there but I can say after having helicopter boomer parents, getting to college where they didn’t have easy access to my grades was a huge relief. [/quote]

You are missing the point on medical records.  If something serious happens to your kid and they did not sign the waiver then the school/hospital can’t tell you lots of needed facts nor can you act as their agent for medical decisions.

Exactly this. Especially if your child attends college several states away. The health/medical form is more important than access to grades. One of ours had an unexpected health emergency and being able to speak to the doctor was key. Our DD was overwhelmed with the info and was grateful we could speak to the doctor then explain things to her and calm her nerves. [/quote]
