[quote=Anonymous]We have two recent college grads and a current college student (plus one still in HS). We've never asked to see midterm grades, and have never encountered any problems as a result, but here's another perspective from a NYT piece by two authors from this area, neuropsychologist Bill Stixrudd and test prep exec Ned Johnson: "If you have a student who has started college, the struggle may be evident in midterm grades. Many parents, however, don’t see those grades. We often recommend that parents — particularly those of vulnerable students — make signing the grade release a prerequisite of funding college. After all, you wouldn’t invest in a company without being able to see its quarterly earnings." https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/19/well/family/when-a-college-student-comes-home-to-stay.html[/quote]
