[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when MCPS emailed everyone and instructed them to stop using Google Classroom. It has been years, now. The teacher should not be using that platform, clearly.[/quote]

You're being pedantic.  It doesn't matter if it's google classroom or not. The number of different systems that kids have to navigate is outrageous- so much so that technology is a barrier to education as it stands now.
It's bad enough for all students but an absolute detriment to students with organization problems

It does matter.
1) OP cited it as part of their complaint. People will spread that rumor without fact checking and it will crop up again and again in criticisms of the system. There are enough problems without including false ones.
2) An adult who can’t tell the difference between Google Classroom and Google Suite is probably mistaken about other aspects of their child’s experience in MCPS.[/quote]

OP here. I certainly can tell the difference between Google Classroom and Google Suite--so insulting the capacities of parents doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.  One teacher is using Google Classroom and has been doing so since the beginning of the school year, and mentioned at Open House that they prefer Google Classroom and would be using it.  I get a daily summary from Google Classroom from that teacher.  My kid told me that a second teacher also uses Google Classroom (as opposed to a google form) occasionally for certain topics, and I confirmed that too.

I have no issues with Google Classroom (personally, I find it easier to navigate than Synergy/Parentvue), just with the number of platforms being used more generally, and the inability of the MCPS dashboard my kid consults to synthesize the information from all of these different platforms.[/quote]
