I Know What You Did Last Math Class


I just finished reading the article I Know What You Did Last Math Class, I had mixed thoughts. This article is about parents being able to track their kids' grades for homework, quizzes and tests, as well as some other grades. Some parents use computer programs such as Edline, ParentConnect, Pinnacle Internet Viewer and PowerSchool, to check their kids school performance. On one hand, the tracking of their kids will cause the kids to be more succesful in school, but on the other hand, it may be too much of a privacy invasion for kids who are just trying to learn to be on their own. Depending on who the person is, this can be either detrimental, or very helpful.
