Software for supervising students
Technology being deployed in schools across the country allows parents to keep tabs on what their children are eating for lunch, how many times they’re late to class and just how poorly they’re doing in algebra. Here’s an overview of some of the more popular programs:
MealpayPlus: A program from Horizon Software International that lets parents go online to put money into lunch accounts and see what their children have been eating.
PowerSchool: Software from Pearson Education Inc. that lets parents track grades, attendance and homework assignments daily.
It’s Learning: A product distributed by Aries Technology Inc. that lets teachers grade work online. This year parents can log on and see their children’s grades too.
