<p>Although it was never really an issue with our kids, we were clear from the start that it is a condition of our contribution to their tuition/expenses that our children sign the waiver and let H and me see their grades. If they want privacy, that’s fine. But, they’ll need to find a way to pay for school on their own. We also try to motivate them by requiring them to pay (or borrow) a portion of their own tuition based on their grades. We tailor the scale for each child based on the rigor of their courses, so as not to deter them from taking a tougher course load.</p>
