Study or else

While our universities debate the loco in parentis question, Shenzhen University in China is taking the initiative to improve academic results by sending students’ reports to parents after the government demanded that students use their time more profitably on campus. Selective students were said to have been asked for confirmation of their home address and then realised that parents were being sent their latest academic results. Cue panicked students who knew they had been slacking rushing home to intercept the letters, while others took to social media to complain.
