[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Allowing students to use Chromebooks without GoGuardian is actual insanity. I’m a middle school teacher and I literally have to freeze screens constantly due to students playing games and writing emails to their friends. If this is true, then most of my assignments moving forward will be on paper. [/quote]

+100. If we don't have GoGuardian, get rid of the Chromebooks. Kids are ungovernable on their devices without GoGuardian.They have no impulse control and the internet has so many opportunities for distraction.

Per usual, it’s people who don’t spend any time in the buildings making all of the decisions. Remind is absolutely worthless. GoGuardian is absolutely a necessity, so of course they went with Remind. It’s really time to find a new profession or at the least, a new district. They can put out all the surveys they want, they’ll never use any of the actual data from teachers doing the real work. [/quote]

While I would expect Chromebooks to be difficult to manage in the classroom without something like GoGuardian, the limited usage by teachers suggests otherwise.[/quote]

So you’re going to believe the board stating “limited use” over teachers telling you that it’s been actually very much being used by most teachers in most schools? You’re the problem. [/quote]

Those aren't the options. There's a clear public statement, which could be confirmed through a records request, that clsims to cover all teachers at all schools in the district. And on the other side, one or more anonymous posters who may or may not actually be teachers. And even if they are, there's no reason to think their usage reflects overall usage within MCPS.

Don't get me wrong, MCPS admin has shown they're absolutely willing to lie. There just isn't anything credible refuting what they're saying.[/quote]

There is-they simply don't want to pay for it. Not too hard. [/quote]

Not saying MCPS doesn't have a reason to lie. But there's no reason to trust anonymous posters on dcum. Even if those posters aren't lying, they have no way of knowing what the rest of teachers are doing within MCPS.[/quote]
