When I was in school — which, judging by how my spine feels most mornings, was fourteen thousand years ago — keeping track of how you were doing on your homework felt, itself, like homework. Parents, meanwhile, were generally in the dark about your overall progress until report cards came at the end of the quarter. If something happened that caused a student (or many students!) to start slipping academically, it was often on the already incredibly busy teachers to dig through their gradebook and identify that dip themselves. Much of that, it seems, holds true today.
