Parental Access

by Michael Pate

I went to a presentation once (actually, I beleive it was May of 1998) that involved a product that would connect parents and teachers via the web. Seeing as how this was a region of the county where many parents didn’t have telephones, the principals in the audience were somewhat less than enthusiastic. While many things have changed in the last five years, I am not sure whether parents are ready to monitor schools assignments via the web. There are some possible solutions out there, but I am not sure that things have reached the tipping pooint.
