You know, I used to hate all the paper that came home with my kids in elementary school but I'll say, all the technology "innovations" that have

come about only seem to make things worse when it comes to communications from school to home. Primarily they rely far too much on kids passing non-printed information on to parents. I can't tell you how many times we've missed things because no email was sent, we weren't invited to the closed Facebook group, or things simple aren't passed directly to us via some reliable means even though the school has our info and all the teachers can access email blast, etc.

All I know is our school, teacher, teacher aide, class moms, and Pinch all do a great job of relaying info. - CQ Jan 22, 10:54 2

you should invent an app that can do all that and become a gazillionaire -- nm - decline Jan 22, 10:37 6
- Sadly, our district has an app. Like most things, it involves people taking the time to actually use the tech they have - oblique Jan 22, 10:39 2
  - you should blast them an email for not blasting you withe the blast email app -- nm - decline Jan 22, 10:39 1
    - heh. We've given an ear full to multiple teachers about this kind of stuff - oblique Jan 22, 10:42
- Such apps already exist. Our school uses one, plus a mailing list. It's worked well so far. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 10:38 2
  - way to destroy his dreams, Bery. -- nm* - decline Jan 22, 10:39 1
