It's a parent's dream—or nightmare: More schools offer online systems
that let families track grades, attendance and other student-related
information. In the past five years, the number of schools using such
systems has more than tripled, to an estimated 25% to 35% of U.S. public
schools, says Rich Bagin, executive director of the National School
Public Relations Association in Rockville, Md. Parent use is likely to
expand faster in coming years, as more take advantage of the systems'
mobile apps, Mr. Bagin says.
Systems that are supposed to help parents and schools communicate online
about children's homework, attendance and grades can help keep some
students on track, but they're frustrating for many parents, teachers
and students.
