Dear all, I teach in two places - one uses Mashov and the other uses Smart School. Between the two I prefer the Mashov as I can get around it quicker. However, having said that, Smart School is also continually updating and as there is a lot of competition between these programmes they all get to the same place in the end! I find the programmes to be useful. I agree with the comments that the home-room teachers don't utilize the potential enough, but on the whole when I can show a pupil his attendance, grades etc, there is much less argument about the magen, for example. On the other hand, I haven't seen a great improvement in the pupils' level of work. Maybe these programmes will be able to influence that , too!
