[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is graduating this year with a double degree and I think about 180 credits. I have always had a copy of her schedule so I know what she’s doing, but mostly a reminder of just how stressful her life is at that moment. I have never seen her grades though, and am very careful not to ask. But hey, my kid had a spreadsheet she made to navigate her degrees and knew before she left HS she was going to grad school. Our job was to reassure her that dropping a horrible class was actually a valid time tested method of improving success, taking an internship was both a job and a vacation, and that grades were beyond her control outside of actually showing up and doing the work.

So your daughter is graduating this year and you have no idea of what her gpa is?[/quote]

If you have a copy of their schedule you don't really need to know their GPA unless it has dropped so low that they lose scholarship money.  If their grades affect the finances that is your business. And, yes, they absolutely should make you aware of something that will have a direct impact on the bill you are footing for them.

But otherwise their GPA is their business.  And you can figure out quite a bit about their progress simply by seeing their schedule.  [/quote]
