How can you use it incorrectly? You either post things or don’t. I think lower ES uses it less. 4th and up uses it more.

You post optional assignments without indicating that on the title. Then it becomes overdue, and you think your kid is slacking. This happened A LOT for MS math. There were other weird non-assignments too for other classes but I can’t think now how that worked.

YES -- or, as my DS (10th grade) tried to explain to me, that this one assignment I saw in his school email that he had missed was b/c you turned in X way but b/c the teacher needed to be able to show it in Y way, she had to post it was if it was an assignment through Schoology -- blah blah blah -- I really didn't understand, honestly, but considering the kid has all As at this point, I took his word for it that he had not actually missed turning in the assignment!!

This happens so much in high school. Assignments appear as not done in Schoology because they are submitted in a different way, but the teacher never marks it as submitted. So you have no idea if your kid did it. For an all-A kid it may not be a big deal, but for kids who need some monitoring it’s a problem, leading to arguments at home and regular emails to teachers to verify things are being done.

Super frustrating
