Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include establishing, within a parental-control software system, an academic-performance policy that defines how academic performance of a student affects at least one parental-control setting enforced on a computing system accessible to the student. The computer-implemented method may also include receiving, via an electronic communication from a school of the student, grade information that indicates the student's academic performance. The computer-implemented method may further include applying the academic-performance policy by updating the parental-control setting commensurate with the student's academic performance. In addition, the computer-implemented method may include detecting an attempt by the student to access a resource of the computing system and applying the updated parental-control setting to control the student's access to the resource of the computing system.
