Debate on University Transcripts Sharing
The podcast delves into the heated debate in China on whether universities should share students' academic transcripts with parents. While some argue it's a violation of student privacy and an infantilization of young adults, others believe parents have a right to know grades, especially considering tuition fees. The US Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student records' privacy, giving students rights over their information. This reflects differing cultural views on transparency.
