Ed's suggestion of a web server/electronic means for submitting assignments
or other content to the teacher is excellent in addition to any print
capability that may be needed, as in Jim's use case. But speaking from
several years' experience supporting technology in a K-8 school, I would
urge tha
cussion. I
don't want to bog down e-mail if there is a better place to refine the
user aspects of this request.
Thanks,

This is such a hard issue to generalize about.
Back before, I worked for a company that developed software for the education
