SOME teachers may also be forgiven for questioning the benefits of computer technology.

Used to handing out end-of-term reports, they are now on the receiving end. Pupils can post their verdict on a website, ratemyteachers.co.uk. They are even able to mark staff's work in various categories. A few years ago, these would have included "board rubber throwing accuracy" and "elbow patch shininess", but schools have come a long way in a generation.

Congratulations, therefore, to the three York teachers we feature tonight who are top of the cyber class. No worries for them when they take their report home.
