Teachers...grading parents?

This article was short, but it seemed very interesting. It basically is saying that teachers in Florida schools will not just give students report cards, but also their parents. The parents won't be receiving A's or F's, they will be receiving "satisfactory",  "needs improvement", or "unsatisfactory". Parents of the students will be graded on the communication they have with the teachers/school, the attendance of their child, and their child's academic performance. To me I have mixed feelings about this. Yes I agree that parents of the the students should be involved in their child's academics, but the fact that teachers are grading adults seems a little different. This is just more work for the teachers, and how do you really grade the parents on the child's academic performance? I understand involvement in school and their attendance. Overall a pretty interesting article.
