Reading Comprehension - 2/5 Teacher Juliano

Parents can easily become too involved in their kids' lives, or so many parents and experts are saying in response to a new wave of digital monitoring of student performance, and social media engagement between parents and teachers. CNN asks, "Do schools share too much with parents?" 

Some parents love being able to see every their child is supposed to complete, what grades are being posted for every element of course, and what teachers are willing to share about classroom activities, using Twitter or Facebook. Parents can be involved in the classroom in a way they have never been before. 

What's more, they don't have to ask their kids, "So, how was school today?" They already know. This, say some experts, increases the anxiety and overall dread kids feel about their oppressive school experience: they have no control. They can't deceive their parents anymore. They know they will catch hell for a grade as soon as they get home. If parents have too much control, they are hovering their kids too much.
