Why does the database have to be open to the students? If I am wrong, correct me,
if I am being ignorant, ignore me, but I see the DB work in general going this
way.

Teacher submits grades, we may even have a web based front end for our Database.
Why? Teacher is at home with laptop. Laptop is Win95. They can go online and post
all their evaluations and grades, for us this is a monthly submission. Annie, our
systems person, makes sure that there were no errors, etc. Only she can access the
Database. Other office people can read the database but students  don't even see
it.
