"As a result, using something like this could get a teacher fired."
This is not a concern in modern private schools. In addition to the Saas apps they use that display grades, homework (e.g. which book or worksheet and which problems), etc. they have blogs incorporated in them. In addition, teachers frequently send emails. Texting would be just another form of electronic distribution. There is not reason to focus on it specifically as a way that a teacher could get fired. They now have a myriad of ways to say something stupid, but that is the way things are.
- aspir 15y agoI understand your point, but the concept of personal contact with a student on their personal phone is a very fine line that could be viewed very negatively by a very small, but vocal subset of parents. Also, the software that you're referring to, in my experience, is targeted for the parent, rather than the student. Its twofold better in that there's less ethical liability in parent communication as opposed to student communication, and these tools include the parent in the education process. They know about grades, attendance, and other things and can then take a more targeted role in their child's education.
