I usually do. Ill just leave it sitting on a table for my parents to find that so i dont have to hear there comments right away. Even though my grades are always good (+70%) i always get the same BS from my parents, "you can do better","i wanna see a 80%-90% average". Never have a heard a "good job son", it always just do better. To them its like im not taking school seriously when i obviously am.

They say the same thing, "I want to see 90's blah blah blah"
I get an 80% average though..

My parents see my grade card before me. :? My school sends them out.

My mom is always disappointed in my math grade. I get around B- and C's. I suck at math. >_>

My parents always see it in the mail before I do so hiding it from them has never been an option (not that I do that terribly)

i was always scared to show my report cards because i always did so poorly, i was always failing classes but lo and behold, though it did take me an extra year to catch up on credits i got into college and am majoring in marketing. i'm not even sure if it's what i want to do, i feel like i just went to post secondary to show my parents that i'm not an idiot.

Never had report cards growing up, and grades are protected in college and onwards. LOL.

I stopped after 9th grade. It was a good idea because my dad was assuming that I was getting constant As and Bs. Senioritis was in full effect my last two years of high school.

They saw them up through high-school since they were mailed to them. I don't think they saw a single one of my college report cards.

Yes, I've always shown my parents my report cards. I usually get high scores, so I don't mind showing them to my parents.

The one time I didn't was back in 7th grade and I got an F in math. It was the same day Zelda Ocarina of Time came out (which I obsessed over its release for months).

I took it over to my friend's birthday party only to have my mom drive up 30 minutes later and force me to go back home. She went digging through my backpack while I was gone and found it.

In my country it's the parents who get the reports. Then they have a talk with the teacher about us.

Pretty aggravating sometimes.

In high school yes. Now I am in college and report cards are not sent out. I just look my grades up online a week or two after finals are done and see my grades. My grades are good, so my parents don't care.

We get detention at our school if you don't get them signed, but I make all A's anyway so it doesn't really matter.

I used to be damn proud of my grades, but not this year. I'm failing Alegabra right now, and I honestly don't want to take Summer school. Oh, and I'm also failing Religion, too, if that's even possible.

So yup, I've gotten a horrible start to High School. I blame myself. I didn't try that hard. It's all my fault, and I hope I can still get into a good College if I really start picking up the pace. I wish I could restart High School. I really do.

I usually average around 95 and they say the same thing to me, I'm pretty sure parents are obligated to say it.
