The excerpt of an article "I Know What You Did Last Math Class," written by Jan Hoffman and published in "The New York Times" on 4. May 2008, Deals with school programs for parents to check their children's grades and behavior. In the following paragraphs, we will outline the information related to the benefits of these programs, as presented in the text.
The main body of the text highlights that many parents utilize these programs to exert greater control over their children's lives, especially during a phase when teenagers seek more independence. Parents argue that the intensely competitive college admissions process compels them to frequently check their children's online grades. Interestingly, many parents who engage in regular online grade checks fondly reminisce about their own adolescence, where deception was common. The advent of programs like Edline eliminates the covert satisfaction associated with such deception. Nevertheless, parents like Mrs. Tarantino, a supporter of Power School, contend that the stakes have drastically changed, citing today's all-encompassing academic pressure compared to previous generations.
Quantifying the precise impact of these programs on academic performance proves challenging due to numerous variables. However, principals anecdotal report that these programs have succeeded in motivating parents and students who were previously challenging to engage. They have notably assisted middle school boys in improving their organizational skills.
According to Ron Jones, the principal of Huth Middle School, situated in Matteson, IIlinois, a middle-class suburb of Chicago with a 90-percent minority student population, "Edline opens up communication between parents and teachers. It helps keep the children focused on their academics." These software solutions also prove beneficial for working parents, allowing divorced parents to access information without the need for direct contact.
In Noblesville, Indiana, after a survey indicated that parents felt adequately informed through PowerSchool and subsequent email exchanges with teachers, the middle-school principal decided to forego parent-teacher conferences and allocate the time back to classroom instruction.
In conclusion, these programs have both advantages and disadvantages. They enhance communication between parents and teachers, motivate parents and students, and cater to the needs of working parents. However, accurately quantifying their impact on academic performance remains challenging, and concerns regarding student privacy persist.
