[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Communication is a TWO way street. When I send home messages on Class Dojo (we set up any new parent with the app during orientation) approximately 15/24 parents look at the message with the first 10 days. I also send the same message on paper in take home folders. This inability or disinterest in reading communication from the teacher has gotten significantly worse since appr. 2015. Before that, parents were much more on the ball. Also, parents didn’t flip out when it’s their fault they aren’t checking these two methods of communication. That’s also fairly new. Before that, parents would apologize if they missed important messages. Now they lash out at us. [/quote]

Class Dojo is THE WORST. Why the heck can't we just have an email list? Or yeah, send notes home in folders. Class Dojo is trash software, I am always either getting like 14 notes from the school a day (about upcoming sporting events my kid isn't in, notices about what yesterday's spirit day theme was, etc.), or nothing. I cannot get Clas Dojo to alert me when my kid's teacher sends my a direct message, I just have to check the app periodically for it. Oh, and the stupid app created a "ghost" profile for my kid when she was in summer camp and it won't let me delete it.

Parents used to see and respond to teacher messages because they used to arrive a normal way. My mom was on top of things but if you'd subjected her to class Dojo, I think she would have homeschooled instead.[/quote]

Most of my students’ parents don’t have email addresses so that wouldn’t work. I look at my kids’s Dojo accounts once or twice a day. It isn’t difficult. It takes maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The fact that all of this information ALSO comes home in my students’ folders means that there are many parents dropping the ball. [/quote]
