Really?! After months of knowing kids would be online, THIS is what you guys came up with?? What is wrong with you?!? Since the middle of March you should have been thinking of something... THIS IS A PANDEMIC WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!! Kids are sitting in their room of their houses alone, (probably depressed), because of what Cobb county schools have done for this year. I’m just so glad I didn’t have to learn throughout these times but you guys are making our children cry because of the poor work you have done! My son is getting dumber by the week, day, and hour he is looking at his computer screen doing nothing. Everyone is. All your doing is hurting these kids lives... RUINING THEM. Because of you they can’t learn AND MIGHT NOT HAVE A FUTURE!! Thanks so much Cobb!! [sarcasm] Thanks to you my son could no longer live his life and have a further and that is for everyone parent and child out there dealing with this horrific plan from Cobb. I will stand up for my child, and every child’s education in this county to fight for better education and a better plan!!! Every parent, come with me and stand up for every child!!!!!!!

This “solution” is just so disappointing. Can you guys (faculty) all agree on one platform please?? As a working mother, this is just ridiculous. So after 13-14 hours at the hospital, I have to come home and figure out the tangled maze that is virtual learning in Cobb county. You realize that sitting just out-of-view of the kids faces on the screen, 99% of the time there is a crouched hidden parent trying to figure out what is going on and switching on and off live platforms? Like what?? I can’t even post a video of my kid throwing a ball at a wall for PE (which is on a totally different platform from music I found out today) without getting messages that lead to nowhere. WHAT IS HAPPENING.

In the first 7 days, my high school senior has only been able to fully attend first period ONCE due to the constant and daily outages and connectivity issues with this platform. As a 20-year veteran teacher who taught in-person and online (high school and college), this is the biggest joke of an LMS I have ever seen. How in any way, shape, or form this is an acceptable alternative to F2F or even quality/reliable virtual teaching and learning is beyond me. If my child wasn’t a senior, we would remove her from school. Please note: we moved to this county specifically for the school system. This is the best you could come up with in the 6 months you had??
