I still don't understand this.  WHY would it be despicable?
I have been in this country for nearly 4 years now, and have never felt
so alien:  I honestly do not see why anyone would object to this.
Marks are not a private matter between two individuals; at best they are
a matter between the student and the University, and dozens of the staff
may need to know.  Parents have always seen children's report cards, what's
the big deal about marks at a University?
