| About the grades--they are HIS grades, but in our house, paying the FULL tuition price, we as parents also see the grades. Our student is on what I would call a "Parent Scholarship"! And while we have not set minimum gpa for maintaining that merit scholarship from his parents, we do expect to see his grades. We have kept very open lines of communication with respect to grades; we celebrate the tiniest successes and encourage the failures. When he has his own job and is paying his own way, then it does not become our business. But, we hope we can still have the celebrations, etc. with good job performance. |
