Picture this: It's 10 PM on a Thursday. Your teachers are still at school, manually entering report card marks for the third hour straight.
Then it happens. A teacher needs to correct a single grade for one student.
Your system's response? Roll back the entire batch to last academic year, make the change, then roll everyone forward again.
One student. One grade. Hours of work.
This was daily life at The Green Acres Academy—Mumbai's first Google Reference School with state-of-the-art facilities and Google-certified educators.
Until they'd had enough.
"I remember the first time I had to correct a mark after year-end rollover," a teacher shared. "I thought I'd done something wrong. I called IT support and they said, 'No, that's how it works. You have to roll the entire class back to last year, make your change, then roll them forward again.'"
For one grade change.
Teachers started triple-checking marks before submission—not because they doubted their assessment, but because the correction process was so painful they'd rather spend an extra hour verifying than face the rollback nightmare later.
But it wasn't just report cards. Daily attendance? Manual data entry. Transport, events, academic records? All separate silos. No integration. No automation.
"We got into teaching to inspire young minds," another teacher confessed. "Instead, we were spending hours fighting data entry systems. This isn't teaching. This is administrative torture disguised as educational technology."
When The Green Acres Academy migrated to Unity, teachers braced themselves for more pain.
"I'll never forget the first time I had to correct a grade in the new system," one teacher shared. "I clicked the edit button... and it just let me change it. That was it. Five seconds. Done."
"I actually laughed out loud. Then I almost cried. That's how conditioned we'd become to the pain."
Bulk upload functionality replaced manual mark entry. Integrated systems eliminated data silos. Automated workflows gave teachers their evenings back.
"For the first time in years," the Director of Education shared, "our teachers have bandwidth to think about actual education—not fighting software."
Does this sound familiar?
Are your teachers spending more time on data entry than teaching? Is your report card process a nightmare? Are "simple" corrections taking hours?
You're not alone. And there's a better way.
Don't let another semester pass fighting your system instead of serving your students.
Your teachers deserve better. Your admin team deserves better. Your students and parents deserve better. You deserve better.
