So when Z Wurman says "...FERPA does not prohibit parents from being
given info about their children, even after 18..." in his usual direct
manner, he means "...FERPA *does* prohibit parents from being given info
about their children, even after 18, unless there is an explicit
written, signed agreement from the student on file to that effect...".
Have I grasped the nubbin of the response now, Dan?

Yes, the last I heard responsibility is bi-directional. e.g. a parent
must support a child's ed. to the child's ability and the parent's
wealth. i.e. a well to do parent must pay the tuition to Harvard, OTOH
the child must obey reasonable (as defied in the particular court case)
demands by the parents. I've forgotten to what age. bc thinks the
college is in loco parentis. By far the most common usage of in loco
parentis relates to teachers and students. For hundreds of years, the
English common-law concept shaped the rights and responsibilities of
public school teachers: until the late nineteenth century, their legal
authority over students was as broad as that of parents. Changes in U.S.
education, concurrent with a broader reading by courts of the rights of
students, began bringing the concept into disrepute by the 1960s.
Cultural changes, however, brought a resurgence of the doctrine in the
twenty-first century. In loco parentis legal definition of In loco
