Okay, I'm not a big-brain edtech integration admin, but I seem to recall that like fifteen years ago we had a website that my parents could check to see my grade in math. I feel like this was already a solved problem honestly.
Ah, but checking the actual grade gives a correct answer. Who wouldn't want to change that for a statistically likely answer?
Back in my day, we brought home a report card every six to nine weeks. I remain unconvinced that more frequent reporting is actually more informative. More appealing to helicopter parents, certainly, but that's not the same thing.
Back in my day I told my mom "hey I got this grade today" and she was like "oh cool, good job" and then we ate dinner.
Fortunately for everyone, they went out of business before a mandatory reporter had to make the weirdest call ever to CPS.
Disruption!
