Pros

“It was great while it lasted, unfortunately not all teachers made the jump and gave it a fair shake, they preferred their individual incentive plan and a less modern approach of a physical attendance book and so we went back to doing our own things for behavior tracking as well as attendance.”

“It’s designed more for the entire school to get on board with as opposed to individual classrooms and when dealing with some teachers stuck in their ways it becomes a difficult transition.”
