The interface of the My School Year is relatively simple, clean and almost everything you need is just a click or two away. Something I love about this program is all the varied activities it can keep track of - like field trips and performances. Life gets so busy that it is easy to forget about different things - whether just for your own memories or for transcript purposes. If you used this throughout a child's education, you would have all kinds of information in one place.
Due to the nature of my schedule - very fluid some weeks - and the young ages of my children, I cringe at scheduling lessons down to the hour. One week somebody adores one subject with all the compliance in the world and then the next week it appears to be their own form of torture suddenly. A handy tool My School Year offers is the reschedule lesson option. When things don't go according to plan, you just rearrange things.
As they always do, the details tend to overwhelm me and this program is FULL of detail oriented options. However, this program doesn't appear to leave anything out and for a scatter-brained girl like me, that is very useful in keeping me on track. It was hard for me to get everything set up complete with classes and lesson plans because it took a lot of initial work in entering all the data, but I expect once the first year was under your belt, maintaining would be a lot simpler. I would highly recommend this program for parents of middle school or high school students for the purposes of transcript needs.
