BBN and Keeping track of your children at school (School Absenteeism Alerts)

‘Chidi cannot kill me’, Katherine said as she sat down heavily on her seat, despairingly as she got off the phone from her house help. ‘What is the problem’ Ngozi asked as she made her way quickly to her friend’s side to comfort her.
‘Ngozi, chidi just turned fourteen, but ever since he started moving with some particular friends of his, he hardly shows up in school. Some times during school hours, they would hide out at funny corners, drinking and watching movies, what can i? do, he’s my only son and he’s not responding to scolding or even spanking, those friends of his are really terrible. I don’t know what to do?
‘Hmm, this is really puzzling, and how did you find out about this?’ Ngozi asked contemplating the matter seriously.
‘Kachi the house help has caught him, twice already, once on her way to the market, another time, on the way to a friends place’ Katherine said at the brink of tears.
‘And what is, his school doing about it, she asked quietly, do they call you to tell you when he’s not in school?’ she asked hotly
‘Yes, his class teacher, has called my attention to his behaviour before, she has called once, but she can't be expected to keep using her credit to call me. I know how expensive it is to call, how much are they paid anyway’. She said looking down at her table wearily to hide the tears.
‘Still the school has a responsibility to you , to make sure that they inform you of your Child's progress continuously, not just the teacher, my sons school employ a unique method of keeping track of my children’s progress, via Browser Based Nigeria bulk SMS text messages. It’s an online bulk SMS text messaging company that the school uses to maintain contact with parents, on their children’s progress reports, its simple really; database records containing the names of absent students each day and automatically sends out SMS to their parents notifying them that their child missed roll call. Maybe you could suggest it to them at Chidi’s school, its efficient speedy and much cheaper than calling, yet it is equally effective if not more. It was agreed upon at the parents teachers meeting that we held, at my son’s school a while back, where parents had similar complaints and i must say the results have been quite encouraging’ I think you should try it.
‘It sounds like, a positive solution to the problem, it could just be the thing to keep Chidi in school and away from those evil friends of his, I’ll do that after I and his father have had some strong words with the naughty young man in question.’ Katherine said feeling better for the first time that morning, Browser Based Nigeria were sure going to help her solve a problem that might have wreaked her concentration and by implication her productivity at work.
‘Thanks Ngozi, you are a life saver’ Katherine said happily
‘Don’t thank me, thank Browser Based Nigeria bulk SMS text messages'.
