Skipping classes or even skipping school will be a thing of the past in the UK as schools take on a new online report scheme. The new software will allow parents to access live data, informing them if their child is attending class, it will provide reports, grades, comments on behaviour and details about homework and assignments. Is this the end of teenage rebellion?
 "Parents can call up their child's homework diary and then go further in and look at individual homework assignments," says Leighton. "They can see twice-yearly reports and grade targets in individual subjects. We also reproduce on the net the information displayed on plasma screens around the school about events and fixtures."
Neither school feels any of this adds significantly to teacher workload - it's basically a technical and administrative business of giving access to what's already there. "It's data they're entitled to anyway," says Kensington. And despite the progress being made with gateways, neither school sees web access as a direct replacement for other kinds of home-school partnership. "We send reports home," says Kensington, "We have parents' evenings, and we have a hugely dedicated pastoral team who will communicate with parents at any time."
