Well, yeah that's true. There's only a little tiny problem. Afaik (e.g.) 
German schools are not allowed to save the information whether a student 
has internet or not. I don't know if this is true for other countries 
too.. And wouldn't it be a huge oranisational problem to store those 
information and print these letters only for students with internet 
access? I mean you would have to take care about the parents.. Normally 
they have to sign a little piece of paper that they got those letters.. 
If you do it via email you have to create a SSL server, hand out a 
secure login to every parent and even further you have to download and 
study those signatures. If you print the letters out (like most schools 
do) you just have to add a cross ( X ) next to the students names in a 
list..

So I don't think that T3 is currently capable of things like this. Prove 
that I'm wrong ;)

Anyway: What about adding this functionality to the according 
extensions? Maybe someone can do it...
