As a teacher who uses both features every day all I can say is... *great!*

This is a very desirable feature.  I regularly print out two sheets
for my vice principal, the gradebook and the journal, so that I can
show them the complete picture for at risk students.  All we normally
care about on the attendance side is the total number of absences, so
now this will give me a single sheet with the most important
information in one easy to read place.
