OK, my school uses the Mashov and while the idea of it is good, there are things that arent working well for me: 1. Parents who say they dont know how to use it or wont. They still want me to communicate with them directly.They will not take the answer - too bad. Generally, its too bad on me. 2. Students complaining they can't get into the Mashov. SO they want me to communicate by E-mail. Then there are those who dont have E-mail or Mashov but prefer Facebook. Get the picture? 3. Then there is the constant stream of kids who say they were in class and I marked them absent. Or after two months they finally show me a doctors note and can I please change their record. Or the kids saying they did their homework when I wrote they didnt. etc., etc. 4. Not to leave out the Mechonechet -- I had one who complained that even if a child disturbs in a double lesson (both lessons) I should only list him once, because really it is one lesson. As I said - I love the idea, but really the amount of work is too much. Louise _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
