Interesting observations regarding what I said about saving money in
administrating the starts and stops. My opinions regarding that matter
pre-date the computerization of entering grades and of the registration
process, I suspect that they are valid for that era, when a lot of
schools started the transformation; but we live in a new era where what
you were saying probably is more valid.
I wonder if some bean counters are using old data, where maybe the
savings in money existed, to arm their arguments for the process; and
fail to realize that IT may have changed the equation?
