My kid's first-grade class just switched from Zoom to some other platform for her online class because of the porn-bombing reports. But this new platform sucks so bad that I think we'd all rather just deal with the porn.
OMG like three different kids have started their own meetings and no one can find the teacher.
Aaand now they're together. There's a shared virtual "white board," but before the teacher could figure out how to use it a bunch of kids started drawing on it.
If anyone makes noise near their mic it screws the whole thing up. So now the teacher is trying to get 26 first-graders not to mess with their mute buttons. My husband has started drinking.
I still have to finish a story but it's hard to concentrate because the teacher is yelling "Can you see me now? CAN YOU SEE ME NOW?!"
Now each kid in the class is supposed to say whether they can hear or see the teacher, but the kids have gotten so gun-shy they're talking insanely slowly. "I. Can. Hear. You. But. Your. Face. Is. Frozen."
This is a dual-language immersion class, by the way.

The kids just discovered the chat feature on the new platform. One student just sent out crying and Satan emojis, and another replied: "I poop."
Now the teacher is admonishing them, and my kid has taken a screen grab of the exchange to send out to her friends on Facebook Kids Messenger.
"Who are you sending that to?" I asked.
"Um. Some people," she replied.
