How often does your school's wifi crash? We are supposed to be doing most of our work on google classroom still but this early on we've already had two whole-day internet crashes.

All the freakin time, luckily we share a campus with the technology department for the district so we usually get prompt attention.

Our school internet went down yesterday and still isnt back up yet

Ours have been hit and miss as well. I don't remember us having this issue last year.

A lot

Our school has had internet problems about 2 times a week this school year. Maybe all these internet problems are a sign that schools need to go back to more books, and pen and paper.

My room’s WiFi has to be reset nearly every day! Now I know who to call to get it reset, we don’t lose as much time as when I figured it was the whole school and just waited until someone fixed it.

Yeah it’s still awful been over a week. 

I think it’s an issue with edutech, they service so many districts. 

This is the problem with trying to run modern technology on a school budget.

So, so tired. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Good evening everyone,

I have to rant and seek advice. It’s my 5th year teaching overall. I’m a 1st year at a new district it’s been really nice except for just some very small inconveniences: no classroom budget, too many meetings during planning time, printers are so bad that I had to bring mine from home, my district gives teachers chromebooks for laptops. I’m a a point where if I was invited to come back next year I’d say tell them no, am I crazy, is it just me? Please help
