Schoology access from outside the US

[Anonymous]

How dare OP be able to afford a Macbook, let alone international travel. She should've just asked that unhinged a$$ of PP to contribute. PP, jealous much? Can't afford a trip or two? Freak.

Install a few different vpns before you go. I could access Aeries with a vpn a few years ago.

Reupping this. Anyone tried access via VPN? We will need access from outside the US for travel we are contemplating this winter. Wondering what we need to do to make sure daughter is keeping up with the work while out of the country.

Easy. Don’t plan international trips during school days.

OP here. We are not planning a vacation—our travel is for medical reasons, and my daughter does not want to remain here alone. She will be away for seven school days and wants to stay on top of her work so she doesn’t come back to a backlog of missing assignments. As a 10th grader, it’s important to her to keep up with her responsibilities, and we are very proud of her for making that choice. She is balancing being there for her family while also treating her schoolwork as her “job” and taking it seriously.

We told her the school and teachers would likely excuse her absence because we can provide medical documentation, but she actually discouraged us from doing that. She doesn’t want to be a burden to her teachers, and she doesn’t want to risk falling behind. I would hope all parents could agree this kind of responsibility and maturity—students “adulting,” in a sense—deserves support and encouragement.

Sorry I don’t believe this at all. Also, it you don’t have excused absences for this trip, they do not have to let her make up the work. Both parents have to leave the country for medical reason? Give me a break. We have doctors here.

Thank you for your Beltway-bubble perspective, assuming everyone has top-tier insurance that covers every medical expense like many cushy federal jobs. Unfortunately, not all of us live that kind of life. And yes, maybe both a husband and wife want to be together for a medical procedure—because that’s what supportive spouses do for one another.

You don’t have to believe me, but many kids actually grow up better in humble settings. It seems like you’re speaking from a place of envy or jealousy, which is sad—for you, for your life, and for your relationship with your spouse and children, as well as how your children understand responsibility.

I asked a simple question. If your goal was to judge instead of help, then your response is nothing more than wasted space and wasted breath.

Yeah, you can’t afford medical care in this country but your daughter “does all her work on a Macbook.” Humble living my ass. Not to mention the cost of traveling internationally at Christmas time. Oh that’s right - you want your daughter to miss 7 days before actual winter break to get a better flight deal. You aren’t fooling anyone. I’m guessing this is a trip to India.

Vile. Disgusting. Xenophobic hatred. You should go back into whichever hole (or country) you crawled out of, unless you happen to be the 'white trash' that made America so MAGA.

You’re so full of crap. You don’t need to travel 7 days prior to the winter break and you know it. The fact that your daughter does all her work on a Macbook tells me you aren’t really worried about money. Traveling internationally is a privilege. You are privileged. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous. Don’t give me the “we can’t afford the medical procedure in the US” bs. You want to have more time with your family overseas.

Why do you even care when the OP is going or why she’s going. You seem very unstable and unhinged. Lots of immigrants travel back to see family. It isn’t something awful. I’m sure the family will figure it out and inform the school. The question was about VPN.

Because the OP is lying to everyone. Claiming it’s for medical reasons which is utter bs. She then proceeded to lecture me on privilege. OP is part of the group of parents that think the rules don’t apply to them.

You seem to know a lot about the OP, without actually knowing the OP. I know people who went to foreign countries for medical procedures. It's pretty common for folks who don't have good coverage and know how the medical system works elsewhere. Our S. Korean neighbor went there last year to get melanoma treatment. It's not that deep!

It’s called cost-benefit analysis, babe. Wild concept, I know. If surgery + airfare + hotel abroad (most stay with family!) is still half the U.S. price, why wouldn’t someone do that? That’s not flexing privilege, that's math literacy and financial responsibility at its best. But hey, keep serving those ‘I failed Algebra I’ vibes.

OP said her family is of limited means. People of limited means don't have macbooks for their teenagers, or fly internationally for vacations.

Because the OP is lying to everyone. Claiming it’s for medical reasons which is utter bs. She then proceeded to lecture me on privilege. OP is part of the group of parents that think the rules don’t apply to them.

You seem to know a lot about the OP, without actually knowing the OP. I know people who went to foreign countries for medical procedures. It's pretty common for folks who don't have good coverage and know how the medical system works elsewhere. Our S. Korean neighbor went there last year to get melanoma treatment. It's not that deep!

Fine, but that's very privileged. OP is poor-mouthing.

It’s called cost-benefit analysis, babe. Wild concept, I know. If surgery + airfare + hotel abroad (most stay with family!) is still half the U.S. price, why wouldn’t someone do that? That’s not flexing privilege, that's math literacy and financial responsibility at its best. But hey, keep serving those ‘I failed Algebra I’ vibes.

Oh and btw, if OP’s got dual citizenship in a country with universal healthcare (aka literally not the U.S.), it’s a no-brainer where they’d go for treatment. Maybe try reading sometime — broadens the mind. Instead of preaching irrelevant nonsense, you might actually stay on topic. Crazy idea, I know.

Reupping this. Anyone tried access via VPN? We will need access from outside the US for travel we are contemplating this winter. Wondering what we need to do to make sure daughter is keeping up with the work while out of the country.

Easy. Don’t plan international trips during school days.

OP here. We are not planning a vacation—our travel is for medical reasons, and my daughter does not want to remain here alone. She will be away for seven school days and wants to stay on top of her work so she doesn’t come back to a backlog of missing assignments. As a 10th grader, it’s important to her to keep up with her responsibilities, and we are very proud of her for making that choice. She is balancing being there for her family while also treating her schoolwork as her “job” and taking it seriously.

We told her the school and teachers would likely excuse her absence because we can provide medical documentation, but she actually discouraged us from doing that. She doesn’t want to be a burden to her teachers, and she doesn’t want to risk falling behind. I would hope all parents could agree this kind of responsibility and maturity—students “adulting,” in a sense—deserves support and encouragement.

Sorry I don’t believe this at all. Also, it you don’t have excused absences for this trip, they do not have to let her make up the work. Both parents have to leave the country for medical reason? Give me a break. We have doctors here.

Thank you for your Beltway-bubble perspective, assuming everyone has top-tier insurance that covers every medical expense like many cushy federal jobs. Unfortunately, not all of us live that kind of life. And yes, maybe both a husband and wife want to be together for a medical procedure—because that’s what supportive spouses do for one another.

You don’t have to believe me, but many kids actually grow up better in humble settings. It seems like you’re speaking from a place of envy or jealousy, which is sad—for you, for your life, and for your relationship with your spouse and children, as well as how your children understand responsibility.

I asked a simple question. If your goal was to judge instead of help, then your response is nothing more than wasted space and wasted breath.

Yeah, you can’t afford medical care in this country but your daughter “does all her work on a Macbook.” Humble living my ass. Not to mention the cost of traveling internationally at Christmas time. Oh that’s right - you want your daughter to miss 7 days before actual winter break to get a better flight deal. You aren’t fooling anyone. I’m guessing this is a trip to India.

Vile. Disgusting. Xenophobic hatred. You should go back into whichever hole (or country) you crawled out of, unless you happen to be the 'white trash' that made America so MAGA.

You’re so full of crap. You don’t need to travel 7 days prior to the winter break and you know it. The fact that your daughter does all her work on a Macbook tells me you aren’t really worried about money. Traveling internationally is a privilege. You are privileged. Pretending otherwise is disingenuous. Don’t give me the “we can’t afford the medical procedure in the US” bs. You want to have more time with your family overseas.

Again, why do you care SO MUCH?

OP said her family is of limited means. People of limited means don't have macbooks for their teenagers, or fly internationally for vacations.

You’re really out here proving you skipped math, reading comprehension, and empathy class. Owning a MacBook doesn’t mean you’re rich — it just means you budget. You also don't know it's a vacation; that's your lack of inference skills kicking in as you try to process what was stated. Medical procedures in the U.S. are insanely overpriced, often double what they cost abroad. If OP has citizenship in a universal healthcare country, the math is literally kindergarten-level. That’s what ‘limited means’ looks like. Sorry I had to connect the dots for you. Instead of spiraling on strangers asking about a VPN, maybe ask yourself why your emotional development stalled out and your mental processing speed is stuck below a Fairfax County 12th grader.

I think its fine to do what you want, but there should be no expectation that any teacher or school staff excuse this vacation or allow your child to make up work. Can't have your cake (cheap plane tickets) and eat it too.

This. Hope the VPN fails miserably.

+1 this exactly.
