Yep, same issue. Another friend also had the same issue. I wish I could block youtube. DS and DD used to listen to us. Now at 12 and 14 they don't . A students but this much surfing is not good.


You can block YouTube on school computers in the digital consent page. You can opt-out of any of these ed tech choices. More parents need to opt out abd insist that FCPS uses better technology controls and has more intentional use of technology in the classroom.

Kids are learning less since implanting so much technology into the schools.


You can’t block YouTube for middle school. They still don’t make good choices. Executive control is still not well developed. Sucks that PE of all things requires them to watch YouTube videos and because of that they get addicted to YouTube.

Also lightspeed is broken. It says paused till next morning and it actually only pauses it till 11:59pm.

I did reach out to FCPS but no response.


+1

Also lightspeed shows paused till a certain time. But doesn’t really pause.
What a joke!!

You can't pause *during* school, but can after school hours.

It was not functioning over the weekend. Appears to have been fixed yesterday.

No point pausing at home. You could just take away the laptop. What I can’t believe is that YouTube is allowed!! I was speaking to some other moms abd it’s crazy how much surfing occurs in school. And vaping and cheating
