[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the valorizing of some posters on how independent they let their kids be rings a bit off.

I'm putting 40k year of my investments in college each year, grades are a piece of evidence on how things are going.  I wouldn't invest 160k in anything and not do some basic due diligence.  Future employers are going to monitor your kids' work.  Sure they are adults--I'm not going to be checking the portal assignment by assignment, and I wouldn't go behind their backs to "check,"  but not checking in on grades seems to be giving them a faux sense of independence rather than a real sense of accountability.

I am paying the same amount annually thanks to DC’s merit scholarship.  If his GPA falls below 3.0, he cannot stay at this school, because we cannot pay.

He know this, loves his school, wants to do well, and so he keeps his grades up.

He also wants to go to grad school, which motivates him to work hard and earn good grades.

Sometimes I ask him how he is doing grades-wise, but other than that, it is 100% his business.[/quote]
