[quote=Anonymous]With my first we didn't ask to see her grades. As long as she was on track to graduate on time we were fine with it. There was plenty of back and forth about majors, class choices, etc. Lots of learning issues so we were just grateful that she graduated. Our second shares all her grades as soon as they are available but that's her choice. Mostly As so it's a pretty easy decision.

I don't understand the philosophy or reality of not paying for Cs. DCs both attend colleges that cost $65k. That works out to $8,000 per class. I suppose they could work to pay for a class but that seems like it would potentially result in more Cs. At $10/hour they'd have to work 800 hours. In any event I am more focused on the kids doing their best and learning something, even if their best happens to result in a C. I've also seen the downside - a friend followed this approach and the kid dropped out of college after one year, had drug addiction issues and now works as a bartender. So not sure the strategy paid off in the long run.[/quote]
