College students are all adults, so is it necessary to inform their parents of their grades? Recently, a undergraduate student from Zhejiang University shared on social media the final report card sent to parents by the school, sparking heated discussion. Many netizens in the comment section shared that their schools also practice the same.
Reporters believe that sending college students' report cards to their parents, at first glance, seems to be beneficial for parents to understand their children's academic performance. However, this practice always feels unnecessary. After all, these students are not elementary school children, but adults in college, capable of independently managing their studies and lives. Even if there are individual students who slack off and affect their studies, schools can strengthen communication and guidance with students, and even use enhanced assessment to encourage them, without necessarily involving parents. Ultimately, universities should cultivate students' awareness and ability to take responsibility for themselves. Encouraging and nurturing college students to be self-reliant and self-improving requires treating them as adults in every aspect.
