I realize that upon reading the title of the question you are inclined to believe that I am a lazy student with terrible grades but on the contrary I am a very hardworking student with fantastic grades in all of my classes. I get along with the teachers and other students in class and I never get into any trouble or act up in class. I hate my lack of privacy when my parents access my grades online or through grade reports. I have a big issue with privacy and I just feel that when they are looking at my grades or when they look through my stuff my privacy is all gone. I HATE when they look at my grades without asking me. What can I do?
P.S. highschool student

Reach the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your neck of the woods) and they no longer have access to your grades.

You sound mature and articulate. Explain to your parents that your grades are good and you are working hard and would tell them if there was a problem. It is unlikely that the teacher will do anything, as high-schoolers are not protected by privacy laws (for example, lockers can be searched without warrants, etc.). Your parents might be suspicious, but explain to them that you don't like feeling like they are going behind your back to check up on you.
It sounds like your grades are constantly available, not just during report card times? Ask if your parents will set up an appointment (monthly? weekly?) with you to view your grades together. You can sit with them at the computer and explain to them what is going on in your classes and why you have the grade you have. They will be satisfied and probably happy to feel more involved in your education, and you will have more control over your privacy.

Your parents have the right to look at your grades without your permission, since after all, it is a way for them to know if you're having troubles in school or not. AND they do give a lot for your education.
Since you have a problem with this, I think you should talk to them about it. You should also be prepared to make a compromise with them. You could maybe agree that they won't look at your other stuff, but you still show them your grades. It's not fair to them if you keep things like your grades from them.

I feel the same way! I get good grades (A's and B's) but I always feel like I'm never good enough. I usually get the mail before they get home and then stash it in my room until they ask for it. It keeps them knowing only what I want them too. We don't do grades online at my school, but I'd say clear the history, and maybe they won't remember the web address, or sign them out and they might forget the password or something. Good luck!

Sweety your living under their roof and they are your parents no matter how much you 'value' your privacy they have every right to see what your grades are and to access them online. You seem to have a very odd problem you might want to consider counseling. If your having hang ups about your own parents looking at good grades what else are you planning to hide from them?

Unntil you are 18 your parents are entitled to look at your grades.At your age you just want privacy.Talk to your parents.On the other hand my daughter is 12 and I canput money in the bank for her as a parent but I am not allowed to know how much money is in the account.Wacky rules.

Ask your teacher to password everything. But if its on a public server then there's nothing you can do.
But you can tell them how you feel and like its an invasion of privacy. And if they will respect you until you tell them.
