[Year 12 IT Apps] Keyboard Swipe and Security

[Roland Gesthuizen]

You have timetabling to do? Crikey!

They nearly squashed me this year with assessment and reporting on top of a
reduced time allotment. I am now on a first name basis with the school
cleaner, learned many Greek phrases. Hope that you manage to figure out the
blocking grid. When users grumble, I often remind them that free choice over
subjects and rooms is over-rated anyway. Bought me time ..

Hang in there mate ..
