> The benefit for me is I get to see pictures from my son's class, of him doing stuff in class, which as a parent, I greatly appreciate the teacher taking the time to take and post pics of what they're doing in class. They also send messages regarding homework, upcoming quizzes, what they're doing for the week, upcoming field trips -- and I can contact my son's teacher at moment's notice without going through the school.

So e-mail?

The protocol isn't what makes this happen, it's the system itself. ClassDojo provides that structured system. Email existing does not.

Email isn’t reasonable for a class of 25 children. I get updates every day from my kids teachers in apps like this - they would never be able to figure out email.
