Skipping classes or even skipping school will be a thing of the past in the UK as schools take on a new online report scheme. The new software will allow parents to access live data, informing them if their child is attending class, it will provide reports, grades, comments on behavior and details about homework and assignments. Is this the end of teenage rebellion?
Implications - There will be a section on the online report that tracks a child's homework called the "homework diary." Parents will no longer have to ask children if they have homework to do because they can see it themselves online. The teachers are all for it and feel that it doesn't add an extra workload.
