Many teachers, however, like the approach. "Kids are now expected to learn so much in a short amount of time, so [day planners] help teach organizational skills early on," says Carolyn Sunderland, a teacher at Kyle's school, Moton Elementary, where virtually all of the teachers have their students "use day planners religiously."
At schools where parent participation is a motto, the day planners provide teachers with documented accountability. And the day planners serve a dual purpose, in many cases replacing parent-teacher phone calls or conferences. Parents sign the day planner every night to show they've read the latest teacher comment and are up to speed on Junior's homework.
