If the grades are what is current for the student progress mid term, then I have a problem with it, the student may have no chance to correct for themselves the any problem they may have in school. The parents should allow the student a chance to work on thier own first to correct any problems. In real life, your parents can't always run to your aid or life.
If the grades are at an end of the quarter type of thing, I have no problem with it. If I remember correctly, all my report cards were mailed to my parents and this had all my grades, absenses, and anything else of note. I don't see any difference, and I can see better quarterly feedback to the parents if its easier for teachers to fill in comments to the parents for a student.
As far as security, what they are doing deserve's them an D- (they at least thought of privacy even if they did a stupid implementation). They should create a sign up system, with a secured login and identification.
I am assuming Iron Chef USA didn't do too well since it isn't still being produced/aired. What do you think was its downfall? Was it the more lighthearted approach? Or do you think it was the cultural differences?
Finally, I always wondered if it would work better as a 1/2 hour show which was elimination contest between chefs to fight the Iron Chefs. The final fight being an hour show and the winner the new Iron Chef (and say a cash prize). 4 Iron Chefs each with 7 Challenger matches and 1 final match for his title. Was there any discussion on changing the format of the show?
