Not sure where it would be inappropriate but there are certainly things it could do better, as I noted in a previous question.

Glance at Skyward Student Management
- Well suited - Skyward works wonders for sharing information about students. Specifically, it allows that information to be quickly accessed and appraised.
- Less appropriate - Skyward isn't great when it comes to finding information under certain tabs. Sometimes it takes multiple clicks in order to find where a piece of information might be stored.
