[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a few reasons:

- so he knows we know without us having to ask or nag
- so we can intervene if needed - he would NEVER ask us
- it's expensive and it is an investment
- he would be states away and it is a way to be able to know what is going on 
-it would be conditional and maybe just freshman year[/quote]

[b]Realistically, what difference does knowing his grades make in changing the outcome?[/b]  Worst case scenario, he flunks out, and what?  Magically gets a job and supports himself while lying to you that he’s still in college?  Middle case scenario, he runs into trouble in a class and finds a solution, maybe with your knowledge and advice, maybe not.  Best case scenario, he’s a genius and never has a day of struggle, in which case you STILL don’t need to know his grades.

College seems to be the best time to let him start working out problems by himself.  [b]Do you intend to require access to his performance review for internships/summer jobs/professional jobs, too?[/b][/quote]

Did you read what I have written? I am paying for this. I won't be paying for those things. Additionally I said it could maybe only apply to freshman year.

The difference is knowing if he is using school to party or learn; or to ensure he doesn't need more help or support when he may not know to ask.[/quote]
