Wait until they find out that they can't get information about their child's grades, etc. unless the child grants them written permission. -- nm - Dano Mar 23, 13:53 8

    - The tracking in HS is nuts now. We can see every grade on every assignment. - spamlet Mar 23, 14:01 4

uh, what the? Not sure if old or childless or some combination of both but I was completely in control of what college classes I signed up for - JD Mar 23, 13:50 6
- well you do get to pick which of all these required classes you get to take, (I really enjoyed economic history vs traditional, follow the money -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 23, 14:04 2
  - I figured high school focused on education of the White Western world, so I fulfilled area requirements with African History, Asian Literature, etc. -- nm - Dano Mar 23, 14:08 1
    - Well, that was before your time, the radical history class was the American revolution from the British POV -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 23, 14:22
- Because the parents are used to controlling everything about their kids. - spamlet Mar 23, 13:52 1
