<p>My s’s school used Edline, and more than once it appeared he was failing a class because a teacher entered the data incorrectly. I feel like looking at it took a few years off my life. I finally stopped looking unless I knew he was home and available for discussion because it was such an unreliable source. </p>
<p>My s also handled his work himself, and my husband and I had a discussion about it senior year because my husband had a habit of asking, “Do you have all your homework done?” I could see my son grimace every time he said it. I finally pointed out that it had been years since we even knew what his homework was, let alone actually helped with it or looked it over. He’d been getting good grades all along, so it was really time to shut up about it. </p>
<p>Junior year is really the critical year for grades because that’s the GPA that goes on the college apps. Not that you can completely fall apart senior year, but I think it’s not uncommon for senior grades to dip a little. </p>
