I think some parents might have been there -- mine weren't.
As for grade reports, isn't it against some privacy law or something to send parents report cards these days? It wasn't really an issue for us since both of ours did very well (3.96 and 4.0) in their college careers.

I could see it being an issue for reasons other than grades; for example, some parents want their children to major in something specific (i.e. want their child to be pre-med, business, etc.), but the child wants to do something else. There could be fights about classes scheduled, number of classes taken, etc.
