[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoom is not a practical solution for online learning for a public school system.

And with regards to the time poster who brought up time stamps, that is irrelevant.

The google classroom and other school software monitors everything that is typed into the system.

For example, one of my kids classmates typed something inappropriate into a group document, then deleted it after the other kids read it.  The teacher was able to see what he typed and he got reprimanded.

The security required for school usage is unique and more comprehensive.

This is not such a crisis for the kids that waiting a week or two to set up proper online learning is going to harm their education or create a hardship.

There is not such a crisis that they need to rush past the better practice just to get an easy and fast solution that does not work for their needs.[/quote]

Fear of lawsuits should NEVER get in the away of education.

If you look at the federal response, the federal government is going to get sued and brought into arbitration by the public and public employee unions for discarding a large number of regulations and union agreements, however they felt the need to continue to serve the public with great alacrity, and provide remedies for a number of issues was worth the risk of being sued at a later date.  For whatever reason FCPS is either overly risk adverse or just incompetent.

There are a number of commercial solutions that address the very issues you raise.  These could be brought online in no more than a few days as demonstrated by other local districts.  Version trackers are notoriously well known in online document editing systems, they aren't unique to the public school sphere. Data logs exist in a wide variety of chat, teleconferencing, and collaborative platforms that are available commercially.[/quote]

This is not about "fear of lawsuits"

This ia about maintaining proper protections for students.[/quote]

Which means fear of lawsuits.

No, it is not fear of lawsuits.

Proper protections for kids=fear of lawsuits.  When kids are social distancing, no physical harm is going to be done.  From an IT standpoint, nearly every interaction on a computer system is logged to begin with.[/quote]
