school.  Could anyone help?  
Thanks in advance,   Ken Knibb (Darwin Australia)

WANTED: REPORTING SYSTEMS FOR SCHOOLS

The staff of a Senior Secondary College of some 1400 students want 
a system containing report comments. Ideally they should be able 
to combine comments concerning work performance and behaviour.

Currently we have two options:

1) Operate a highly centralised system.

2) Have a decentralised system using Macs.

Option (2) is already happening to some extent with some staff 
using Word 4. The problem with this is that all they are really 
doing is typing and saving their comments for later use.

Appreciate any suggestions/knowledge concerning what is done in 
other similar institutions.
