This may become worse under Common Core as it has been said that the desire to track its effectiveness is driving the creation of a large database to store much information about students and their families, including attitudinal factors. It is said these records will be shared among educational institutions and be available to researchers. Inquiries to-date about how a family would review their child/ren's records and submit corrections have not resulted in information being provided. This may translate to a teacher's negative comments following a student throughout a lifetime.
Similar to the practice of some people keeping a personal copy of their medical records at home, parents may wish to begin constructing and maintaining a set of educational records for their children.
