Jon,
Has there been any study done on the effectiveness of having SIS systems in the schools. It seems logical that they would improve teaching, but maybe the time and effort of installing and converting to an SIS system could be better spent on improving the curiculum of the classes, which appears to be coming from above (the state level).
I like the idea of having more accountability both for the student and teacher, but I could see that that would be something that teenagers would immediately work hard to avoid. (Not just teenagers, but “tenured” faculty as well.)
See you Sunday.
-Ben
