[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This conversation is exhausting:
 
In theory, live classes are best when using Zoom. DCPS does not allow schools to use Zoom for live instruction. According to DCUM, ALL THE SCHOOLS are using Zoom- lies. We have to use TEAMS. It keeps us safe (teachers and children). This is not a union fighting to allow teachers to be even lazier - as perceived by so many of you darlings.

A TEAMS meeting with 26 kids is a waste of time. However, I'm more than happy to have a morning meeting where I mute everyone and talk at the kids. If parents so desperately need me to talk at kids for an hour or heck, five hours a day, fine. But I have the capacity to talk at- not differentiate, not ask for opinions. There will be zero discussion. Oh, and because I teach younger children- YOU parent will have to sit with YOUR child as I talk at the screen for 1-5 hours.

Or you can take the daily pre-recorded videos, accept that the best instruction is during small groups and shut up.

And yet, somehow, private schools -- and some public schools -- make it work. [/quote]

DC PUBLIC.SCHOOLS.CANT.USE.ZOOM for the love of Jesus. CAN’T=CANNOT as in NOT AUTHORIZED. Sounds like some DC schools or teachers are going rouge? Good luck when a pedophile bombs a morning meeting.[/quote]

I think that is incorrect. I believe they backtracked on this in early April, so that it’s acceptable with a waiting room or password. At least that’s what this thread said, with someone quoting language from DCPS. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/75/870397.page

My kid’s teacher had switched from Zoom to Teams but then went back to Zoom, with a waiting room, at around that time. [/quote]

They backtracked on banning it to saying they encourage that teachers use Teams.  But if we want to use Zoom to have waiting rooms and passwords.  There was an email sent out right after it was banned by DCPS or OCTO.  So IT IS NOT BANNED by DCPS.  Calm down.  [/quote]
