Many of my wife's students do have their own email accounts, but, alas, not all of them. I have not totally thought this through yet, but the student data will include their parents' names and some of their data. But it will be my luck that two students will have the same name, John Allan Smith, with their dads having the same name! But I guess I can list both parents' names. Surely that would enable the user to reliably pick the correct student? As an aside, when discussing my wife's user requirements for this project, I found out that some of her students have, shall we say, a variety of parents: birth parents, multiple step-parents, parents who are not allowed to have contact with their children, legal guardians who are not parents, etc. Ay, yi, yi! -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
