How does frustrating the living shit out of parents, who want to help their kids, improve their mental health?

  The school can help their kids. There is no reason to distress the parents over bad grades.

    Why prevent parents helping their kids if they want to?

      You could have both kinds of schools, ones that hide grades from parents and ones that do not.

        Parents would send their kids to schools that hide things from them only when the schools that don’t are at capacity and stop accepting further enrollments. Schools that hide things from parents would likely be a magnet for incompetent and lazy educators.

    I never understood this point of view, teachers are just people doing a regular job, just like basically everyone else. Assuming that teachers should have the same level of engagement as a good parent is just ignorant, very few teachers are like that. Most don't care more about your kids future than technical support cares about your struggles with their product. You can't expect technical support to solve your problem, it is better to learn to solve them yourself, and even if you don't do everything yourself the more engaged you are the easier it will be for the technical support to help you.

    The school does not help kids. Most of the teachers are not able to present concepts even to people who know those concepts, let alone children. Hiding grades is bad because the parents cannot help the child to improve and the school does not care.
