While the kids get the idea pretty quickly (although I'm surprised how many haven't used Twitter), explaining the idea to parents has been interesting. At this point, we'll probably wait until after the spring standardized tests to give it a try.

Less is more many times and this is a wonderful and easy way to do something that has been cost prohibitive in the past. Why are the simplest ideas seem to be the best? Hi Wes,

what a great and simple idea to communicate with parents. Less is more many times and this is a wonderful and easy way to do something that has been cost prohibitive in the past.

Why are the simplest ideas seem to be the best?
