It wasn't a multiple choice test. It's hard to explain, but it was a practice for a portion of the Foundations of Reading Test that all elementary ed majors need to take. But they grade it as our final.

The administration sent all faculty at a local university an e-mail saying "as grades are released we are getting a flurry of calls from parents upset with their child's undergraduate grades. Please do not discuss anything about a student with their parents."
I assume that applies for graduate school and law school students too.

If the parent pays the tuition they should have full access to everything the student does at the University.
Same for medical records. Why do I have to get permission from my 12 year old to view their medical records?

It would be too messy though for professors to have to deal with parents' complaints about grades.

I agree with that. Parents should hold their children accountable, their children should hold their professors accountable. I guess in today's world though that's not the reality.
As a high school basketball coach, Hubby refuses to speak to parents - especially if it's about playing time. He just tells them - your son is old enough to drive, will be graduating this year (or next); if he's not happy with his playing time, he can come to me.
He starts every season with this speech. It's astounding how many times/year he has to repeat it.

I am surprised parents are brave enough to confront him about that. He would tower over me!

Most of the professors at my school might laugh at the thought of a parent complaining about the grade
They offer pretty much 24/7 email, and you can schedule office hours monday-friday, and free tutors. I think if we don't take the initiative to improve we shouldn't be there in the first place.
Like he towers over Roy Williams?I am surprised parents are brave enough to confront him about that. He would tower over me!

There comes a time when parents have to let go and stop running block for their kids. College is that time. They are given responsibility to create their own opportunities and an interfering parent will stop development faster then anything. If a parent doesn't want to pay for tuition, then don't, there are other avenues, but, that doesn't buy access to everything that their, basically grown up, child is doing. It is their responsibility. If they fail then they are going to have to answer to the parent that paid the bill. College is supposed to be a learning experience. What better learning experience is there then to know that what they do independently cannot always be "fixed" by their mommy and daddy.
I know you guys think we eat out a lot (not for more than a month though 
), but it's really not much cheaper to eat at home.
Apparently beef prices are on their way down, but it's going to take a few months to filter down to the consumer level.
In the meantime, this is what I just paid for two packages of 3 x half-decent strip loin steaks:

I agree. Hubby and I go to McDonald's and get two egg biscuits for two dollars. We go to KFC, once in a while and get two orders of chicken and fries, for six dollars. I can't cook at home for that.I know you guys think we eat out a lot (not for more than a month though

We went to a couple of state parks today down by the Everglades. The first one had a nice boardwalk to get us over the swamp, and it was really quite nice. We saw a few birds there and some gators. Here are a couple of babies we saw:
The next park was basically a drive through the wilderness. It was really neat except for the huge ruts, puddles, and frequent gators in the road. I was thinking about how a certain Sageteer would have loved it.

I've had that exact pic on hold for weeks.

Sadly, spring isn't here yet.
