School web sites
| Mon, 01-08-2007 - 3:25pm |
I keep reading posts about kids that deny that they have any homework. Schools are now using free web sites (freewebs, and schoolnotes) to inform parents as to homework and other happenings at school. I check my daughter's team web site at least weekly (the entire week's homework is listed). Do your schools use these web sites?

I get what you're saying. I think in general kids are more managed today than they were in days gone by. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. The danger comes when they know they don't have to stand on their two feet, but the positive is that perhaps they learn they're being watched so they better just keep up.
We have a school website and each teacher has a link to their own page where they'll list homework and schedules, pictures, philosphy, interesting links, etc. I very rarely look at it. It's my sons responsibility to get his homework done. Plus the teachers aren't always so great about updating. If he's out sick he can check on there but will usually call a friend to find out the assignment.
We also have a section with a codename and password to check their records, but I've already lost the info - lol.
Our school uses a website but only for 6th and 7th grades. The 8th graders are expected to be responsible for their schedules.
