<p>I just checked the publication for “First Year Parents”. It states that “Instructors submit midterm grades for each of their first year students and for sophomores who are doing failing or near failing work in their courses. While the University treats its undergraduates as responsible young adults, we do send copies of midterm grades home in the first year because we believe that parents of freshmen should be kept informed of their student’s progress in this crucial transitional year…”</p>
<p>I guess we should not have been surprised had we completely read the First Year Parent document. I guess we got caught shirking our first year parental obligations. Oh well, at least the midterm report was consistent with what we were told directly by S prior to receipt of the report anyway.</p>
