Dec 01 | Perspective is Everything
This weekend, my alma matre Cypress Fairbanks High School was eliminated from the 2011/2012 playoffs by Fort Bend ISD's Hightower. Though my team lost the game, it was a hard fought affair which ended 21 to 14.

Before the emergence of Facebook, a powerful form of communication ruled the land. It was one delivered by hand; often without the postal system, never electronic, required one signature and sometimes a face to face meeting. This communication was the progress report.
Progress reports are distributed at the 4 week mark, just after the first 3 weeks of school have been complete. They update parents on the progress and performance of their students.
