Eh, reading comprehension failure on my part again: the OP's problem
is not with home assignments but with school-wide distribution such
as weekly schedule. This renders the Word requirement - or even a
computer requirement - even less reasonable, IMHO. Making 5% - or 1%
- of families to buy a computer and/or specialized SW just to view a
schedule is totally unacceptable on financial grounds only.
In our case, the schools provide printed versions of the schedule.
They also email it to make sure the parents get it, instead of it
sitting forever in the student's book bag and then thrown on.
My wife uses Outlook (the commercial version, not the bundled email
program) for scheduling and she can highlight and click items to put
them into her schedule.
It's really a courtesy for the parents, not a requirement.
I do a lot of email back and forth with my youngest son's teacher
because she uses terms like "next week", or "soon", etc, and I want
exact dates.
