a question about posting your students' grades on line

Do any of your schools post your students grades on line? If so, I was =
wondering if you could give me some info about the following:

1. Do you post every grade (for each test, quiz, etc) or just cumulative =
grades at certain points in the term (i.e. mid term or end of term)?
2. What grade levels do you do post (i.e grades 9-12, K-12, etc)?
3. What has been the impact on your students?
4. What has been the impact on how the parents relate to their kids with =
all this information?
5. How has it impacted parent-school and parent-teacher relationships and =
communication?
6. What philosophical issues has this raised and how have you dealt with =
these? (I am thinking about the issue of helicopter parents, fostering =
student independence, changing the balance between grades and learning, =
impact on motivation, and many others)

Thanks
