Concerns regarding school management and app issues

Oh, I totally understand your frustration! My son is in Class 4 and we had the same issue last term. They kept jumping from Google Classroom to some random proprietary app, and I missed three homework submissions because of the notification lag. I suggest you try sending a formal email to the class teacher and CC the coordinator; sometimes they don't realise how much it affects us until we put it in writing.

I faced the same issue last term. I found that if you message the class teacher on the official internal messaging system instead of using the main app, you get a much faster response. Don't stress too much, most of us are in the same boat!

Honestly, these schools just want to keep experimenting. It feels like they change apps every three months just to look 'tech-savvy' while we are the ones struggling to manage the passwords and logins for our kids. Are you also getting those duplicate notifications at 10 PM?

Oh, tell me about it! My daughter is in Grade 4 at the same branch and the constant app switching is a nightmare. Last week they sent the math homework on the school portal, but the submission link was in a separate email entirely. I suggest you try writing a formal email to the Principal directly; usually, when multiple parents send individual complaints, they finally take note of the administrative chaos.

Same here, it is a mess. I have stopped checking the app entirely and now just rely on the handwritten diary entries. My daughter writes everything down, so at least I know what the actual assignments are.

Is it only the app issue, or are you seeing gaps in the syllabus tracking too? My son is in Orchid as well, and honestly, we have just stopped relying on their updates. We keep a physical diary for his assignments to stay sane. It's truly exhausting.

We faced this last year at a different branch. What worked for us was raising it during the PTM. When five or six of us brought up the 'app fatigue' issue collectively in front of the principal, they finally standardised it to just one portal. Maybe try checking if other parents in your child's section feel the same way?

I feel your pain. My son is also in Orchids and the lack of a central system is really testing my patience. I have started taking screenshots of the 'current' app updates just in case they decide to delete the data again.
