Apparently I am a dinosaur!

Schools get blamed for poor attendance, which is actually the responsibility of parents.

I'm told even emails are old hat these days. There's no hope .

I’ve found that you get overloaded with emails when they’re in primary. Very little communication from school when they’re in secondary! In secondary it’s all about using the apps though. I need to remember to top up dinner money - that’s the thing I forget. Then there’s another app with timetable/house points/ attendance/ reports on. That one annoys me as there’s a big attendance percentage always on display - which is of more importance to school than to parents!

Yes its amazing, I now order my grandsons school dinners online choosing a week before from the menu

DD says she is inundated by emails from her boys' school. So much information sent or searchable. The school has a whole IT dept running it all.

Yes, apparently that is so. Parents/guardians can also see an online record of percentage attendances……..are parents saw none of that until the year-end report sent home in a sealed envelope shortly before school broke up in July.
