[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They said 6,000 teachers have used it this year, with 3,000 using it in the last month (I'm wondering if that time period includes the holidays and snow days).  And they said that most of the use is concentrated at a handful of secondary schools.  They propose replacing it with training on [b]better classroom management strategies so that teachers can "monitor technology without the use of technology[/b]".[/quote]
They did not elaborate on that, but I would love to know how you can monitor technology without technology. Do they mean walking around the classrooms? You can close tab super quick as soon as you see the teacher moving.

I'm a parent, not a teacher, but even I found that line to be incredibly condescending. "Classroom management" is basically a code word for bad/ineffective teaching.

That being said, even if the teachers who rely on GoGuardian have poor classroom management skills, I don't trust anyone in CO to teach them how to do better. So this isn't much of a solution.[/quote]
