I was looking through my 6th grader’s iPad today and browsed Google Classroom. It became apparent that my child is demonstrating obnoxious attention seeking behavior. She posts these looooong posts, with song lyrics, movie scripts, or other things unrelated to curriculum. Other students comment to her posts asking her to stop. The students also use docs and slides to chat in class. Further, I saw that she used her school email to contact a musician, he even contacted her back knowing that she was a middle school student. It seems there are no parental controls on Google email for schools. I ignorantly believed students couldn’t email outside of our district and was wrong. She has had extensive education on online safety/digital citizenship, social skills, etc. For example we have done online modules about these topics. We’ve had heart to hearts. We’ve had consequences. But it just keeps happening. I keep parental controls on the home device (just the ipad). I can’t control the Chromebooks at school and am relying on her using judgement. Someone please suggest something, I’m so emotionally drained from this. What can I do?! submitted by /u/dr_m_hfuhruhurr [link] [comments]
