I'm a student who has been subjected to this system, and I HATE it. I get great grades (straight A's, since BEFORE The system was installed), but since my parents have begun to play Big Brother, they haven't gotten off my case. If I get a B on a test or slip up on a project, they badger me to study and do more than is necessary, even though I know how to correct my mistake already. I have worked so hard to keep them from getting in my face, such as not telling them if I have a project so they aren't constantly harassing me and telling me to work on it, but the online grades ruin every shred of independence I've gained. If you're stupid and NEED your grades to be monitored (???), that's one thing. But for those of us who get straight A's and already know to fix our mistakes, the last thing we need is parents on our backs.
NO!
