As more colleges stress the important of grades, Edline helps students worldwide stay on top of their work and focus on a solid education. Whether you’re a senior or freshmen, Edline has already played a large role on shaping your academic life, although most students choose to dwell on the negative effects. Maybe your parents scolded you for one bad grade, forbade you from going out for the night, or in the worst case scenario you were grounded for a couple of days. But does this really make Edline the bad guy we perceive it to be? Saying it ruined your life is probably just a slight exaggeration, because Edline is only there to help you through these tough years of high school.

You no longer have to wait for a teacher to pass a grade back in class because they’re only a few clicks away. This is useful if you had a test on a Thursday or Friday and wouldn’t be getting it back until Monday. Teachers might update it the night after, eliminating that anticipation you might have for the weekend. Whether you did well or not, the weekend becomes free for opportunity; not for the sense of anticipation and dread.

Edline allows teachers to store papers and PowerPoints so that they are accessible to students. Maybe you lost the homework assignment sheet and an important paper is due tomorrow on a subject you’re not even sure of. There’s no need to panic and frantically IM your Facebook friends because usually listed under assignments are a monthly or weekly calendar of what needs to be done. If you’re particularly forgetful, Edline offers unlimited copies that you can print out whenever necessary.

Instead of constantly harassing your teacher for your term grade in class, Edline is there to give you the answers. It doesn’t just tell you what you got on a test, but how it affected your overall term or yearly grade. It also puts you in a better standing with your teachers, because who wants to be annoyed by over 100 students per day? It gives you and your teacher a break by eliminating those after school sessions nagging for a grade.

If you’re absent for a day, there’s no need to worry about falling behind because there’s a section at the end of your grade report that lists your missing work. This is especially helpful for book work because the pages you were supposed to read, or take notes on are usually listed under missing work. Even if it was just a sheet in class that you can’t get online, you now know what to expect when you return to school and what to ask for.

In the long run a little harsh criticism from your parents about a bad grade is worth it. You might not know it or accept it, but the truth is Edline plays a vital role in keeping your life as a student organized. So stop worrying about being scolded, and instead, make the grades you get ones your parents can be proud of.
