Am I wrong?

So then when I close out of the page, they keep reopening it. Same thing with YouTube.

It's impossible to block these if you also need them to do Google assignments, and it is causing a lot of students to be off task. It's frustrating.

That student usually cannot log into my things until the previous teacher has done something on their end.

The features on GG that we don't have on Blocksi would probably make more teachers use the app.

So I haven't been able to add other students when they are in my classroom.


Also with this question I'm wondering if I can create a class for after school programs with students not in my homeroom.
