Yes, parents are required to sign the report card of their children. If the child returns to school with the report card unsigned he/she is sent home until the signature is obtained.
As for text messaging: I think this is an idea that is not too farfetched but currently just out of reach of the average Haitian. Haiti does have the technology to support text messaging and it may be more cost effective for schools and although many Haitians have cell phones the basic infrastructure (electricity for one) needed to support this idea is unreliable. And how Haitian culture uses cell phones may preclude them at this point from relying on text messages about students’ school performance. But I do believe that as the technology gap diminishes and becomes less expensive and developing countries employee it more frequently it can prove its advantages in the school system.
Yes, and you're not too crazy!
