<p>I wonder if my dd had not shared her grades with me as she went along (her choice) if the official lines of access would have been sufficient to get a clear picture of how she was adjusting for the first 2 months. I can tell you that once the midterms were in Chimney daughter relaxed considerably - she also needed confirmation that she was doing well as she couldnt judge this for herself initially. My biggest job as her helicopter was actually to help her to see that a B on a test was.not a disaster and Im guessing many others have done the same.</p>
